Horses too. I don’t know if there were any restrictions as to what animals were off limits. I actually think they repealed that law just in 2017 but it was on the books for decades, maybe longer, and I always bring it up as an example of just how unrealistic and ass backwards this state is.
Like, you can own a gun, but you have to jump through hoops to actually get one, and pay federal, state, and local taxes on it, and you can’t bring it out of your house (how do you legally bring it home from the gun store in the first place? I guess you don’t tell anyone. 🤫) unless you have a valid hunting license and you can “prove” you’re going hunting, but they never state what actually constitutes proof, during the one week a year hunting “season”, and rich, gated community trust fund motherfuckers REEEE! and whinge “You’re mean for killing the excess deer that only exist because we demanded all the wolves and coyotes be exterminated and had all the woods chopped down to make room for our million dollar condoms that we “flip” to make even more money!” They don’t care that the deer will starve to death if their population isn’t controlled because they have no natural predators, they would rather animals suffer and die as long as it’s out of sight out of mind.
And you can’t use it in self-defense unless you can prove the criminal shot at you first because it’s illegal to use more force against an attacker than the exact same amount of force that they used against you or else they can press charges against you for using excessive force. So if a murderer comes into your house at night with a knife and is trying to stab you to death you can’t shoot him because that’s using more force than a knife, you just have to let yourself get murdered or you’re a felon and as a felon you can no longer own a gun, or vote, or get a meaningful job.
