laws

I have said before and I'll say it again. I was born and raised in Missouri and am generally proud of my home state. However, even I sometimes shake my head and wonder what my fellow Missourians are thinking. This is a perfect example. Missouri really wants to bring back dueling and I have so many questions.

As a kid growing up in Missouri, I learned fast to understand the difference between my parents asking me to do something or them telling me to do something. That lesson is coming in handy as I can tell that Missouri wants me to stop unnecessarily idling my car engine - or else.

You're a good person and a good citizen if you see one of the many deer that appear near Missouri roadways and try to warn others, but is it legal to use your headlights as a means of communication? The answer is more complicated than you might think.

Google Rabbit Holes got me curious. Apparently there are a lot of things I did not know when it comes to having pets and livestock here in town.

The fact that the state of Missouri is warning about this means it's happened before. That alone should scare you. Yes, there is officially something bizarre that people in Missouri will be fined for soon if they're caught wearing them while driving.

Then, when the car passed.... he'd go right back to the left lane.   I KNOW.  IT'S MADNESS.

You would think that it's no big deal to take a picture of a person, but you'd be wrong and that's especially true in Missouri where there are specific scenarios that could get you into real trouble.

There's nothing quite like having someone you love that loves you back in a long-term relationship. In some states, after 7 years together, you are common law marriage. What about Missouri? Is there common law marriage in the Show Me State? The answer is both yes and no. It's complicated.

How happy are you in your relationship? I don't mean to intrude, but the reason I ask is if you're common law married, there's something you need to know if you're thinking about moving to Illinois. There's only one (rather awkward) reason to do it.

Only 10 states in the country have laws that give people the "right to die" will Illinois become the 11th? Here is what lawmakers will be discussing in the spring session this year...
