Stupid State Laws - Arizona 3

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):

Arizona

"When being attacked by a criminal or burglar, you may only protect yourself with the same weapon that the other person possesses."

You have got to be kidding me, Arizona.  Do you realize how stupid this law truly is?  So, if a criminal or burglar barges into your house with nothing but a spork, you can't just shoot him for being an idiot?  What if he is wielding a couple of large salmon and swinging them all around the place, is the fight supposed to stop while you go down to the local grocery store and hope they have salmon in stock so the fight can resume?  Seriously, Arizona should have really thought this through before putting such a law into the books.  Salmon twirling bad guys (probably) exist.
