10 OF THE WEIRDEST LAWS IN UTAH
NO CATASTROPHES
According to the criminal code, a catastrophe entails a “use of a weapon of mass destruction or explosion, fire, flood, avalanche, collapse of a building or other harmful or destructive force or substance that is not a weapon of mass destruction.”
I’m glad they clarified that. Maybe add “Sports franchise.”
NO SNOWBALLS
Um we’re going to need to talk with the Zamboni driver on this one
NO RIDING BIKES WITHOUT HANDS
Hockey players don’t do dumb stuff like this.
NO SWEARING, LADIES
Definitely one of the most controversial, women can’t use profane words in Logan without risking a fine of some sort. Equally contentious is how a husband is responsible for every crime his wife commits in his presence.
Get it out of your system now GF and wives.
NO CONVENIENCE STORES AFTER DARK WITHOUT ID
People must present identification to enter a convenience store after dark in Kaysville, Utah. This also reinforces the facts that alcoholic beverages can't be stronger than 3.2 percent nor can individuals possess beer containers larger than two liters. Retailers are the only exception.

NO GUNPOWDER TO REMEDY HEADACHES
Who would've thought that pharmacists once prescribed gunpowder to cure headaches in Utah! At least this is prohibited in Trout Creek, so be sure to bring along plenty of alternatives like Tylenol and Aspirin just in case.
Again, hockey players don’t do dumb stuff like this.
NO THROWING MISSILES AT BUSES
Another no-brainer, Utah wants to emphasize the criminality of hurling missiles at buses in code 76-10-1505 by making it a third-degree felony… yet law enforcement is exempt as long as it's within the scope of their job.
Better hope the bus ride to the airport doesn’t go by a fans house.
NO DETONATING NUCLEAR WEAPONS
Along those lines of strange and unusual laws, there shall be no detonation of nuclear weapons. Hobbyists can have all the nuclear weapons they want but essentially can’t use them.
As long as they don’t detonate I’m ok with this one.
NO BITING IN BOXING
Based on code 76-9-705. With this comes no striking of Adam's apple, groin, eyes, and temple of the head, either.
I can think of a few players to be banned from Utah
NO COMPLAINING ABOUT MILK
As far as the interpretation of the criminal code goes, Utah says it’s illegal for milk consumers to “unfairly discriminate” against milk distributors and criticize the grade or quality.
The Milkman can’t be traded to Utah.
