Dumb Laws in Indiana. Crazy Indiana Laws. We have weird laws, strange laws, and just plain crazy laws!

Michigan isnt any better, but this one is very unusual.
Any person over the age of 12 may have a license for a handgun as long as he/she has not been convicted of a felony.

Not much there that is actual law.

Many of those "laws" were proposals in the General Assembly. Several are local ordinances that have been repealed and several are actual statutes (oral sex, it was entitled "Sodomy") that have been repealed during re-codification in 1976.

Glue sniffing is still illegal, see Indiana Code 35-46-6-2.

In South Bend, it's illegal to make a monkey smoke a cigarette.

Can't remember where, I want to say Virginia, But you can go the wrong way down a one way street, so long as you have a lantern attatched to the front of your car. ....Nice

Is this to say live sex shows are legal in Indiana???

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Chef, look at the definition of "public place".

I guess it depends on what you mean by "sex shows".

I guess it all depends on what the definition of "public place" is.

There is some reason why IN strip clubs aren't fully nude like many other locales. That probably goes back to the definition of "public place" (not that I agree with the 'no fully nude' strip club law either ).

I think the law protects the actions of consenting adults in the privacy of their own homes or private clubs. I know there several of those clubs in IN. If you want to have a 'swingers' party in your home in IN your A-OK. As it should be. There is no reason for the government to intrude on a persons sex life to the extent it doesn't infringe on others rights.

You can get out of paying for a dependent’s medical care by praying for him/her.
