Like that kansas law about being illegal to shoot rabbits from a motorboat. That is, technically correct, however , animals including game, livestock, and varmints may be legally shot from a motor boat if the motorboat is being towed behind a moving vehicle equipped with a proper class C hitch with turn signals.
This was a compromise to both the powerful motorboat and gun lobbies in Kansas. It took almost 2 years of committee reporting and conference before the legislation was worded in a fashion that was acceptable to all parties.
