10 Crazy Laws in Kansas That Will Leave You Shaking Your Head

Most laws are made for pretty good reasons. You can't drive drunk, kill another person, or bribe a politician. Some other laws, though? Well, there are some downright weird laws in Kansas. Here are 10 illegal things in Kansas that will likely have you scratching your head - and might even give you a bit of a laugh.

1.) Riding an animal down any road is against the law in Derby.

Tough luck, Fido.

2.) No one may catch fish with his bare hands no matter where you live in Kansas.

We shouldn't be punishing this; we should be praising it. (That takes mad skills!)

3.) Hitting a vending machine that stole your money is illegal in Derby.

Shooting it with a .22, however, is perfectly fine.

4.) If two trains meet on the same track, neither shall proceed until the other has passed. That's the law in all of Kansas.

Get comfortable. We're not going anywhere anytime soon.

5.) All cars entering the city limits of Lawrence must first sound their horn to warn the horses of their arrival.

This sounds like a recipe for getting your car egged in the middle of the night.

6.) Musical car horns are banned in Russell.

Where is your sense of childlike whimsy, Russell?

7.) No one may sing the alphabet on the streets at night in Topeka.

What are we supposed to sing then?

8.) No one may wear a bee in their hat in Lawrence.

Great...Next you're going to tell me that I can't put the bee in my shoe either!

9.) It is illegal to drive one's car through a parade in Topeka.

I figured that was just common sense?

10.) Rabbits may not be shot from motorboats (Statewide).

Who even does this?!
