Every state has things that are banned. Here are some of the wildest things that you are not allowed to do in these certain states.
1. Alabama : No Bear Wrestling
Vincent Van Zalinge
So in the state of Alabama, you are not allowed to wrestle with a bear. This includes but is not limited to, selling tickets to bear wrestling, and training a bear to wrestle. This law is on the books. Why would you want to wrestle a bear, an animal that has several hundred pounds on you, not to mention razor shape teeth and claws? So remember people, if you go to Alabama, do not participate in Bear Wrestling.
2. Arkansas: You can not honk your horn in front of a sandwich shop
Pietro De Grandi
So in Little Rock Arkansas, you can not honk your horn in front of a sandwich shop after 9 pm, so I guess if the person in front of in the drive-thru is going slow, you are going to have to be patient.
3. Colorado: No throwing missiles at a car

So apparently you are not allowed to throw a missile at a car In Alamosa Colorado. Who just has a missile lying around and how would you throw it?
4. Connecticut: No kissing on Sundays
Joanna Nix
So even though this law is not enforced, it's illegal for a man to kiss his wife on Sundays. The origin of this law is unknown but it still exists. This is one of the silliest laws out.
5. Delaware: No trick-or-treating on Sunday

Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, You can not trick-or-treat on a Sunday, so if Halloween falls on a Sunday, trick-or-treating will be rescheduled. This is not a crazy one, but it's still out there, and it shouldn't matter what day it falls on, we should have trick-or-treating on Halloween.
6. Georgia: it is illegal to buy a sex toy
David Len
It's illegal to buy sex toys in Sandy Springs, Georgia. The law on the books specifically provides that "any device designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs is obscene material" and therefore prohibited (unless the buyer has a bona fide medical, scientific, educational, legislative, judicial, or law enforcement purpose). This law is currently being challenged. Well, I guess I won't be visiting Sandy Springs, Georgia anytime soon.
7. Hawaii: Not Texting and Walking
Meghan Schiereck
A ban on pedestrians looking at mobile phones or texting while crossing the street took effect in Honolulu, Hawaii, earlier this year. Fines start at $15 and go as high as $99 for multiple violations. This may sound like a silly law but more than 11,000 injuries per year, and could soon be banned in other states. This law I can see, because so many people are attached to their phones and don't want to look up from it while they are walking.
8. Idaho: You can't be in the same house as someone who is smoking pot.
Brandon Nickerson
Marijuana use is still illegal in most states, but in Idaho you can't even be in the same house as the person that is smoking, if you are caught you can be fined up to $300, and could even serve 90 days in jail or both.
There are so many of these crazy laws out there. These are just a few of the craziest.
