Story"Speaking in front of a crowd of residents and media, Best told town trustees that because of the nearly 100-year-old ban, which classified snowballs as a type of missile, he couldn't throw a snowball without worrying about breaking the law, or getting into trouble." It's a fun article and it makes me wonder if you have any weird or outdated laws in your town. Is it illegal to throw snowballs where you live?

Interesting. I wonder why something so minor as a snowball would get banned in the first place.

Especially since the ban was put in place nearly 100 years ago when folks weren't so litigious and politically correct and violence wasn't as prevalent. |

My guess is that damage from rocks and ice embedded in snowballs was to blame for the ban. People getting pelted in the face might not have been as much of a concern as broken windows, etc.
Glass a century ago was far less durable than it is today. Foundries weren’t engineering complex compounds like anything we have today. Nor were the frames around the individual panes capable of absorbing an impact’s force the way modern weather seals allow. And they were single-pane in thickness, to boot!
