Weirdest Laws In Missouri

Publish date: 2024-05-04

Some laws were well-intentioned and meaning to protect innocent animals. Along with the city of Excelsior Springs protecting squirrels, other municipalities within the state of Missouri have their own ordinances to protect our furry (and sometimes feathered) friends. Liner law outlines how it is illegal to shoot wild rabbits from any motorboat, airplane, or motor vehicle in the city limits of Kansas City. Unless, of course, the hunter is physically handicapped. Then they can apply for a permit that allows them to shoot this game from any vehicle. 

The small town of Perryville made it unlawful for anyone to shoot birds in their community. This weird law not only applies to those who might be tempted to take down a flying creature with a gun, but also prohibits the use of air rifles, stones, or other flying projectiles. 

And in the state of Missouri as a whole, you cannot legally drive around in a car with a bear, unless that bear is secured in a cage (via Only in Your State).
