Stupid State Laws - California

Here comes another post about a state law that still exists on the books and why it is ridiculous (to see them all, click here):

California

"It is a misdemeanor to shoot at any kind of game from a moving vehicle, unless the target is a whale."

Oh man, there are so many questions to be asked about this silly law.  Why do whales get the short-end of the stick on this law?  Is it because they are the only animal in California that is large enough that you can't miss it when you shoot at it from a moving vehicle?  Do vehicles include boats?  How many roads in California are even close enough to the ocean that you wouldn't have to carry a sniper rifle with you in order to even hit a whale while driving?  Is it illegal to shoot whales while your vehicle is not moving?  I feel like whales should hire a good lawyer and get these questions cleared up, because otherwise, they are getting screwed over with this law.

"However, there is no law against shooting at a moving vehicle that looks like a whale, somebody should clarify that for us, too."
