State Laws

Pepper Spray laws in Texas are governed by the Texas Penal Code. Specifically,

TITLE 10. OFFENSES AGAINST PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, AND MORALS CHAPTER 46. WEAPONS. Pepper Spray can be considered a weapon. What is considered illegal is: "Chemical dispensing device" means a device, other than a small chemical dispenser sold commercially for personal protection that is designed, made, or adapted for the purpose of dispensing a substance capable of causing an adverse psychological or physiological effect on a human being.

Basically, what this is saying is that a small dispenser is legal. What exactly is "small" is not specified and has been up for debate. The law goes on to say where all weapons can be used and in what areas even legal weapons are illegal. Such locations are a school or educational institution, polling places when an election is happening, in a secure area at an airport, government court or offices used as courts (written permission can be requested), racetracks, and within 1000 feet of the location of a place of execution.

How long you want honey.

I am nearly positive that yes, Pygmy Marmosets are legal in SC. The Illegal Exotic Animal laws do not include Primates.

Effective June 26, 2015, same-sex weddings can be legally performed in Georgia and all neighboring states.

Texas was a state of Mexico, declared its independence, and existed as an independent republic for several years. It applied for admission to the United States as a state, which upon Congressional approval and Presidential signature, took place in 1845.

No. There is no legal recognition of such relationships in Kazakhstan.

My son was charged with underage possession of alcohol in PA. The actual charge was written as "underage drinking", which I think is very unfair. He was offered to serve 20 hours of community service or take a 2 weekend alcohol "rehab" course at the cost of $100. He also lost his license for 90 days. Apparently this will remain on his driving record forever,but not his criminal record. Luckily, due to this being his first offense (and hopefully last!) he was eligible to apply for a limited occupational/school license. This allows him to drive himself to work and college only.

Yes, Maine is an 'Open Carry State'. However, that does not mean that the local police dept -or- sherriff's dept will not detain you, (or simply, harrass you), for carrying a handgun 'cowboy style' down the sidewalk. Your best bet is to apply for a consealed weapons permit, and know the laws pertaining to both 'open carry' & 'consealed weapons'.

Texas has a lot of funny laws still on the books, but that are seldomly ever enforced. They include it being illegal to sell one of your eyes, it is illegal to milk someone else's cow and it is illegal to take more than three sips of your beer in a row while standing up.

Please verify with the NY State Game Commission- and the answer seems to be "maybe". NY does not consider an "antique" to be a firearm. The term Antique includes muzzle loading caplock or flintlock rifles and shotguns, and present day reproductions of them. However, a modern, in-line, 209 primer type muzzleloader CANNOT be used by a felon under FEDERAL law. That prohibits a felon from possessing "ammunition"- and ammunition includes 209 shotshell type primers (but not #11 percussion caps). Some state laws permit possessin of a muzzleloader by felons, some do not- so please verify with your state.

Yes, as of 2005, Colorado does have open container laws. No open container is allowed anywhere in the passenger compartment of a passenger vehicle while on a public highway. There are exceptions such as limos, etc. It's a Class A offense that carries a $50 fine.

A standard pocket knife or folding knife no longer than 4.5 inches in the closed position is legal to carry. I believe daggers, bowie, spring loaded or butterfly knives are not legal to carry.

Not with a firearm.

You can't drive.

The Nevada DMV issues ID cards, it will look almost like a drivers license.

Same as 48 other states. Self help repossession allowed with NO breach of peace. State Law says they have to hold it 10 days before they can sell it. So you have 10 days to redeem. PP is yours, they cant keep that. PP does not include tires ,wheels ,stereos , TVs and other stuff attached to the car. They will charge you about $10-$20 a day for storage of the car if you redeem. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

if you take a course, any age or it depends on the person you are babysitting

Any law abiding Missouri citizen 21 years of age or older may carry a firearm in the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle. The firearm may be loaded, unloaded, concealed or not concealed. A permit is not required for this purpose. However a permit is required if you wish to carry a concealed firearm in public.

No, neither the state, nor any city or county in Kentucky maintains a domestic partnership registry, except that the Cities of Covington, Louisville and Berea offer domestic partner benefits to city employees.

When you're afield hunting, yes. If you're walking through downtown Lexington, you're not going to be able to carry a loaded rifle around with you, however.

In most situations u must be able to support urself, be out of school, and/or be married. You don't have to be married but in some situation it may help. The older u are the easier it is.

When legal counsel is needed by a minor person a the court appoints a Guardian Ad Litem.

Generally speaking, yes. Any person with a "clean record" can purchase a handgun in any state. I don't know specficially what New York's requirements are, but generally speaking, you fill out a form and pass a background check. You can only legally purchase a handgun within the state in which you reside.
