Top 20 Silliest Laws in Alaska

Alaska has to be one of the coldest states in the United States of America. This cold has to be one of the main reasons to pass laws as dumb as these Top 20 Silliest Laws.

#1 - A moose may not be viewed from an airplane.

When most of Alaska needs to be reached by airplane I guess it is all right for the pilot to close his eyes when he sees a pack of moose ahead.

#2 - While it is legal to shoot bears, waking a sleeping bear for the purpose of taking a photograph is prohibited.

I am not sure the person who has awakened the sleeping bear would stick around long enough to actually take the photograph.

#3 - It is considered an offense to push a live moose out of a moving airplane.

Now the dead moose you have been flying with you can be pushed out at any time.

#4 - No one may tie their pet dog to the roof of a car.

If you have a cat, hamster or gerbil, feel free to tie them to the roof when you run out of room in the car.

#5 - Persons may not live in a trailer as it is being hauled across the city.

But, they told me this was a mobile home.

#6 - Clowns beware!

Of what? I may need someone to explain this one to me. I am at a loss for words.

#7 - It is considered an offense to feed alcoholic beverages to a moose.

You would have to be drunk to get that close to a moose, so you won't remember this law anyway.

#8 - A person may only carry a concealed slingshot if that person has received the appropriate license.

Now that 9mm you received for your birthday can be concealed, but not the slingshot!

#9 - It is against the law to attempt to break any law in title nine of the code (public peace, morals, and welfare).

I have always thought it should be illegal to even think about being unmoralistic and I guess Alaska agrees with me.

#10 - Owners of flamingos may not let their pet into barber shops.

And I thought this was only a problem for Floridians.

#11 - Buildings that preserve scenic vistas are awarded bonus points by the government.

Wouldn't the construction of the building destroy the scenic vistas? What are the points for?

#12 - One may not roam the city with a bow and arrows.

I guess Legolas from Lord of the Rings would hate a trip to Alaska.

#13 - Persons may not allow "attractive nuisances" to exist.
