The Law

In the sprawling, empty roads of the state, bored travelers and hunters sometimes used stop signs as convenient targets for sighting their rifles. The state had to explicitly codify that shooting at traffic signs is illegal vandalism. Those bullet-riddled speed limit signs along rural highways are a testament to why the law was needed.
