Residents may not fish from a giraffe's back. Hmm...I don't remember ever seeing a giraffe here! I find this one interesting as we don't need a concealed weapons permit in Idaho: A law passed in 1912 provided that "The carrying of concealed weapons is forbidden, unless some are exhibited to public view."
