Get this: in California, there are special gun laws. California has the strictest gun laws in the country. However, it is legal to carry around a fixed blade as long as it is clearly a weapon. So essentially we can carry around a sword on our backs as long as it is recognizable as a sword.

Homemade weapons are completely legal. By homemade weapons, I mean: Garage guns, Chechnyan Firecrackers and scrap weapons. There's a good reason why. If they made a law, it would be practically impossible to enforce. As long as you keep it for yourself and as long as the weapon does not violate any laws regarding guns, there's no (on the side) legal trouble. All under federal law, which remains supreme over state law.

In New South Wales (In Australia), if you travel by horse and stop at a bar, the bar is required by law to stable, water, and feed your horse for you while you're there.
Of course, good luck actually getting that.

it's illegal here to cut a woman's hair. that's not enforced tho lol
we're also really big on dairy, so butter substitutes aren't allowed to be served in prison (and hospitals, schools, and other public places unless it's for health reasons,) and restaurants can't substitute butter without it being requested. these laws are still followed, although they're not really discussed much.
you CAN believe it's butter!
apparently at one time selling margarine was illegal for 42 years up until 1967. and people smuggled yellow butter substitutes. we literally had a margarine prohibition. i'm not joking, people smuggled it, and the runs were called "oleo runs."
one mayor described margarine as "the yellow stick of satan," and it's also been referred to as "the demon spread." which tbh just makes me desire it even tho it tastes shitty in comparison to the real thing.
because we have a lot of dairy farms you have to give livestock the right of way on roads, too.
there's also apparently a LOT of cheese laws, and cheese must be "highly pleasing."
i must say though ive had a fair share of cheese that... really wasn't pleasing, at all

In Britain, we have to have licences (very hard to get) to own an actual firearm. Now I can feel safe.
