When I lived near Bonham Texas there was an older cowboy that rode his horse every where, he forced the city to install hitching rings in a couple of places around the courthouse square, AND the city had to comply, The original courthouse which burned down in the 20s or 30 had them but with all the modernization with cars and such they didn't see the need when they paved the square and took out the hitching posts, old Sonny took the city to court when they arrested him for tying his horse to the light bar on a police car.
This wasn't in ancient history but happened around 1993 or 94 , but he also wound up getting arrested for carrying fencing pliers, Sonny was an old African American COWBOY that was one of the last of his kind, he rode his horses every where and if you needed some ranch or farm work he'd outwork 3 average men.
I doubt if he's still alive, I heard he was almost 60 when all the stuff happened but he was a legend around Bonham Texas.

Texas

A recently passed anticrime law requires criminals to give their victims 24 hours notice, either orally or in writing, and to explain the nature of the crime to be committed.
 
You MUST own a gun...

KENNESAW, Ga - Several Kennesaw officials attribute a drop in crime in the city over the past two decades to a law that requires residents to have a gun in the house.

In 1982, the Kennesaw City Council unanimously passed a law requiring heads of households to own at least one firearm with ammunition.

The ordinance states the gun law is needed to "protect the safety, security and general welfare of the city and its inhabitants."
