Colorado's Strange Laws
In this article we will take a look at the strange laws in the state of Colorado.

In Colorado, it is okay to rip tags off of mattresses and pillows. Now we have all seen the tags on mattresses and pillows telling us it is unlawful to remove the tags, but not in the progressive state of Colorado. Go ahead and rip away.

If you are a car dealer in Colorado, it is illegal to show cars to anyone on Sundays.

If you are in a state park in Colorado and you have an urge to mutilate a rock, don’t do it because it is illegal to do so.

It is also illegal to ride a horse while under the influence. Is this a H.R.W.U.I? Horse Riding While Under the Influence?

As we have seen in past articles like this, some cities in the state have their own laws as well, such as:

In the city of Aspen, it is unlawful to fire catapults at buildings. I don’t even want to know why this is a law.

In the city of Alamosa, it is unlawful to throw a missile at a car.

Also in Alamosa, it is illegal to keep a house where unmarried persons are allowed to “have relations”.
