Say it isn't so......

I was reading some articles on digg this morning and came across this little article. It is about strange Sunday laws that exist in some states. I got a laugh when i read down the boat about MA's weird Sunday law. I have no idea whether it is true or no. Maybe if someone has a lot of spare time on their hands they might be able to dig it up.

Massachusetts and South Carolina: All men must carry a rifle to church on Sunday.

I like this one!

I believe, IIRC, that MA finally changed the "bring your gun to church" law a while back.

I usually bring my glock, but now I guess I HAVE to take the 30.06........

I'm always skeptical of these lists. It's not that I believe there is any flavor of insanity that's beyond legislatures, but that they're invariably in the form of typical internet BS: a small number of verifiable entries, a few more that are obsolete or grossly distorted, and the vast majority with absolutely no citation or basis to judge. It doesn't matter whether the list is "Strange Laws", "Other Uses for Coca-Cola" (or for WD-40), or whatever.

somebody told me that in my town you can bring your cattle to graze in the town common while you go to church. could be BS but could be true

It probably goes back to the late 17th century during King Phillip's War, when Indians made it a habit to raid villages when everybody was at church on Sunday, and not home monitoring their houses.
