Silly Law: No Slingshots in the Park

In Corinth, Mississippi, it is illegal to possess a slingshot in a public park. Not only that, but the penalty is up to a year in the county jail or a fine of up to $1,000, or both. The crime and penalty are the same for a slingshot as for a shotgun, brass knuckles, or a switchblade knife. (Corinth Ordinances Sec. 21-22)

Sure. Having a slingshot in your back pocket is certainly just as bad as waving around a shotgun, or having a pistol in your pocket, right?
