A compilation prepared by the nonpartisan National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) highlights laws taking effect on New Year's Day in at least 21 states. State legislators have been especially active on issues pertaining to immigration, government costs, and the care of young people. But Americans will face new state laws on a wide variety of areas ranging from abortion to the distribution of shark fins, the NCSL report shows.
NCSL did not provide a breakdown on which states produced the most new laws, but its report on laws taking effect on Jan. 1 was heavy with legislation from California.

We got a new law that a person can legally carry a concealed handgun!
Pretty sure thats a old law, called the 2nd amendment, its just we allowed us to be convinced we don't have that right. So now you have a law that restores a portion of that right, and does so with a permit. Turning your right into a privilege.

This is one of my pretty peeves. there are too many laws. It is impossible to know all of them. Everyone will end up breaking some of these obscure laws at some point during the year.

Are we going to argue law with the Lawyer now? I get what you are saying, but come on.

That is the whole point. Make everyone a criminal.
And remember 40k New ones pales to what is already on the books.
