The Law
What was once considered a classic childhood toy eventually became recognized as a genuine public nuisance capable of shattering windows and injuring pedestrians. Pawtucket effectively banned these projectile weapons to keep the peace and protect municipal glass. Dennis the Menace would definitely have a hard time growing up here. It treats a rubber band on a stick with the severity of a concealed weapon.
