Stupid State Laws - Alaska

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):

Alaska

"While it is legal to shoot bears, waking a sleeping bear for the purpose of taking a photograph is prohibited."

Wait a damn minute here!  They actually had to make this a law!  It actually exists in their books?!?  Who in their right mind would even think this would be a good idea?  Well, I guess I answered my own question, because only an idiot would wake up a 500 pound killing machine just so they can take their picture with it.  And while taking a picture with a bear would look pretty cool as your Facebook profile picture, do you know what else would look pretty cool?  A picture with a sleeping bear.  Why not just do that?  People of Alaska, how many of you died before this became a law?  The answer should be zero, but no, you had to go and get mauled to death and now you forced your local lawmakers to put a stop to it.  Way to go, idiots.

"Well, Sarge, he took the picture while the bear was still asleep, that apparently is legal."
"Damn it, rookie, has this constant daylight fried your brain, wake up that bear yourself and we will pin it on that idiot so we can arrest his ass."
