Arizona  when being attacked by a criminal or burglar, you may only protect yourself with the same weapon that the other person possesses.

Perhaps the law has since been repealed, but a few decades ago Illinois still required that the driver of a motorized vehicle, when approached by horses, pull the vehicle off the road and turn off the motor.

Alaska – it is considered an offense to push a live moose out of a moving airplane.
Even if the moose is found to be a stowaway on the aircraft?  What if the moose has paid for sky diving lessons?
I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.
