A few good ones, a few bad ones.

"Some people might not notice until they go to a farmers market, buy a switchblade or are involved in a hit-and-run.

But hundreds of state laws are changing as of today, and some could affect the everyday lives of many Texans.

Lawmakers spent months approving new bills. Gov. Rick Perry signed 1,571 of them into law, and 659 of them take effect Sunday.

The new measures are a mixed bag, ranging from letting Texans sample food at farmers markets to making it legal for the first time in decades to buy switchblades."

Damn, they might only meet every other year but they sure do "law it up" when they do meet.

I've baught several over the past couple years. I didn't know automatics were illegal to carry up until last year when the law was passed.

In general I agree, but to be fair some of those 600 "new" laws were actually striking old ones from the books, like the switchblade law.

If only we could be more like Virginia.....




After all, they've only passed 800+ new laws in 2014 alone.

And they've got 6 months to go.
