The United States has had its fair share of strange legislation in its existence thus far.
This includes an age limit on those who use playgrounds in Kansas, a ban on using ferrets as hunting animals in West Virginia and a prohibition on masked groups in New York (until the COVID-19 pandemic changed life as we know it).
Here's part three of Fox News Digital's list of the most bizarre and interesting laws in America — from Alabama to Wyoming.

Arizona: Better not interfere with a claw machine or 'crane game'
In Arizona, it is illegal to mess with a crane game, according to Title 13, Chapter 33.

In 2020, Reuters also reported on Arkansas Title 1 — which addresses the pronunciation of the state name.
General Provisions Chapter 4 on "State Symbols, Motto, Etc." states that Arkansas "should be pronounced in three (3) syllables, with the final "s" silent, the "a" in each syllable with the Italian sound, and the accent on the first and last syllables."
Arkansas is pronounced this way: AR-kən-saw. The final "s" in the state's name is silent — and yes, there's a law about that. (Fox News)
"The pronunciation with the accent on the second syllable with the sound of ‘a’ in ‘man’ and the sounding of the terminal ‘s’ is an innovation to be discouraged," Reuters said on its FindLaw page.

This may include upholstered chairs, upholstered couches and mattresses in the front, side or backyard.
If the furniture is temporarily placed in an outside location in the hope of selling it at a yard sale, however, that's apparently a different story, according to Colorado's "General Offenses" under Title 5, Chapter 4, 5-4-16.

"It might not seem like dancing in a sombrero would cause any reason to be banned, but the state lawmakers certainly disagreed," Tucker, Yoder & Associates also said.

The state of Oklahoma banned tattooing in 1963, and lifted the ban in 2006 with Gov. Brad Henry’s signing of Senate Bill 806, according to a press release issued by the Oklahoma Senate.

Opening a vehicle door when it’s unsafe to do so and/or interfering with traffic flow, pedestrian crossings and passing bicyclists can result in a Class D traffic violation.

South Carolina: Males over age 16 can't seduce someone ‘under the promise of marriage’
Title 16 on crimes and offenses (chapter 15, section 16-15-50) in the South Carolina Code of Laws characterizes seduction under the promise of marriage to be an offense against morality and decency — and male residents of a certain age aren’t allowed to do it.
"A male over the age of 16 years who by means of deception and promise of marriage seduces an unmarried woman in this State is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, must be fined at the discretion of the court or imprisoned not more than one year," the law states.
Seduction under the false promise of marriage is against the law in South Carolina. However, a man won’t be convicted if at trial it can be proven that "the woman was at the time of the alleged offense lewd and unchaste." (iStock)
The law also says "there must not be a conviction … on the uncorroborated testimony of the woman upon whom the seduction is charged."
A man won’t be convicted if at trial it can be proven that "the woman was at the time of the alleged offense lewd and unchaste."
However, "if the defendant in any action brought under this section contracts marriage with the woman, either before or after the conviction, further proceedings of this section are stayed," the law states.

South Dakota: You can't use fireworks to protect sunflower crops from birds
Title 34 (chapter 36, section 7), a public health and safety law that has since been repealed from South Dakota’s Codified Laws, permitted the use of fireworks or explosives to protect sunflower crops from birds. The act is now prohibited.
The State of South Dakota repealed the agricultural-focused pyrotechnic law in 2018 with House Bill No. 1015 during its 93rd session of the Legislative Assembly.

Tennessee: You cannot import or possess a skunk (in most cases)
Unlawful importing of a skunk can result in a legal penalty, according to the Title 70 of the Tennessee Code’s Wildlife Resources (chapter 4, part 2) section.

The law prohibits "any person" from importing, possessing or causing the importation of a live skunk in the state of Tennessee. Selling, bartering, exchanging and transferring a skunk is not allowed.
There are certain exceptions for "bona fide zoological parks and research institutions" and people who have "a valid wildlife rehabilitation permit issued by the agency."

Utah: Make sure you know the beer limit
Chapter four of the Utah Code’s Title 32B Alcoholic Beverage Control Act (section 32B-4-406.) sets a beer purchase limit for the public, which is outlined on the Utah State Legislature website.

Vermont: Be aware that imitation butter once had to be pink
On Nov. 13, 1890, the General Assembly of the State of Vermont passed a law that required margarine and all other forms of imitation butter and cheese to be dyed pink.
The law applied to dairy companies and keepers of hotels and restaurants.
"Whoever by himself, his agents or servants, shall sell, expose for sale, or have in his possession with intent to sell, any article or compound made in imitation of butter, and not wholly made from milk or cream and that is of any other color than pink, shall, for every package that he or they sell or expose for sale, be fined the sum of fifty dollars, and for each subsequent offense shall be fined the sum of one hundred dollars. Half of the fine shall go to the complainant," the law stated.
The Supreme Court struck down all pink dye mandates for imitation butter, which had been enacted in other states, on May 23, 1898.
Pink imitation butter laws might have been repealed in the U.S., but strawberry cream cheese (pictured here) remains a popular food spread. (iStock)
"Pink is not the color of oleomargarine in its natural state," the court wrote in its ruling.
"To color the substance as provided for in the statute naturally excites a prejudice and strengthens a repugnance up to the point of a positive and absolute refusal to purchase the article at any price."
Virginia: You can't hunt near a place of worship on Sunday
Hunting on Sundays near a place of worship in Virginia is against the law.

Chapter five, article two of the law (section 29.1-521) specifies the animals that can’t be hunted on Sunday near a place of worship, in addition to what distance and weaponry types are acceptable for Sunday hunters.
