Saw this article today and couldn't help myself from posting it, after I almost fell off my chair laughing.

Wow. That was great. By the way, all my grandchildren own and carry shotguns (Missouri). J/K

Florida
If you tie an elephant to a parking meter, you must pay the same parking fee as you would for a vehicle.

I didn't realize Florida had so many elephants.

One of my fav's is...

Pennsylvania

Wonder if hotel owners had issues with people wanting to test their 50Cal sniper rifles?

"Texas
You may not shoot a buffalo from the second story of a hotel."

Don't forget that some (if not most) of these laws are very OLD (1800's-1900's).

Once you keep that in mind, some of them start to make sense.

Yes, they are real and still active (just not really enforced).
