A fun site (aside from the epilepsy-inducing banner ads and pop-ups) listing various “dumb” laws.
Colorado’s aren’t funny-dumb, just annoying-dumb:
- Car dealers may not show cars on a Sunday. [This makes Sunday a great time to look at cars — at least car exteriors. The dealers are closed, so you can wander the lot without hearing the theme from Jaws.]
- It is illegal for liquor stores to sell food or grocery stores to sell any alcohol except beer that is at most 3.2% alcohol. [This particular law would have dropped off the books except for the powerful liquor store lobby. It’s also worth noting that a particular company can only operate a single liquor store in the state — no chains.]
- No liquor may be sold on Sundays or election days. (Repealed) [Actually, this is still on the books. You can’t buy liquor on Christmas, either. I have a funny story to tell about this one, some day.]
- It is illegal to ride a horse while under the influence.
- Tags may be ripped off of pillows and mattresses. [Actually, those “Do Not Remove” tags specifically say they cannot be removed by the seller, not by the buyer.]
