Oh, Those (Strange) Colorado Laws

It is Illegal to Kiss a Woman that is Sleeping or to Mutilate a Rock in a State Park

Mike White
If you live in Logan County, Colorado, it's okay for you to kiss your wife, but you better not do it while she's sleeping. It is illegal in that county to kiss a woman that is sleeping, and that is only one of the many strange laws in the state of Colorado.

Another strange law in Colorado is that it is illegal in a state park to mutilate a rock.

Another strange Colorado law is that cats that meow in the dark may have their tails chopped off.

It is illegal in the state for children over eight to wet their beds.

Many cities in Colorado have their own strange laws.

One strange Denver law is that it is illegal on Sundays to drive a black car. It is illegal in the city to mistreat rats. Dogs in the city must be notified of impending impounding by a posting for three days, as a notice on a tree in the city park, and also along a public road that runs through the park. Also, if you want to be sure you obey the law in Denver, make sure you never stutter during a church service. You will be breaking the law if you lend your vacuum cleaner to a next door neighbor.

In Cripple Creek, make certain you don't bring your pack mule or horse above the ground floor in any building you are in.

In Colorado Springs, make certain you never wear a holstered six gun in the city limits on a holiday, Election Day, or Sunday. You may wear it at other times, however.

In Boulder, you have the right to challenge a police officer. That right ends, however, when he asks you to stop. Make sure you never graze your llamas on city property. Do not place a couch outside on your porch. Never roll boulders on city property.

In Aspen, make certain you never fire a catapult at a building.

Any business in Arvada that sells alcohol must have enough light so that anyone may read the texts inside of the bottles containing it.

In Alamosa, one must have a license to own a dog over three months old. It is illegal in the city to throw missiles at a car.

In Durango you may not go out in public in clothes that are "unbecoming" to your gender.

In Pueblo, it is illegal to grow dandelions within the city limits.

In Sterling, make certain you never let a cat loose, unless it has been fit with a taillight.
