10 Bizarre American Laws

Teddysays...

*sigh, I live in Chico, and yes that is a law on the books. It came about in the 60's in protest to nuclear testing, and the city became one of the first "Nuclear-free-zones". They also wanted to keep the local state university out of nuclear research. The actual ordinance is

No person shall produce, test, maintain, or store within the city a nuclear weapon, component of a nuclear weapon, nuclear weapon delivery system, or component of a nuclear weapon delivery system under penalty of Chapter 9.60.030 of the Chico Municipal Code.

I do believe the punishment includes up to 6 months in jail, in addition to the $500 fine
