Washington state had a rule that said that boating was okay but fishing was against the rules. Illinois has a rule that says only two people in a boat at the same time. So a family of four in IL can't go out in their own boat even though they live in the same house. CA police have stopped people from sunbathing by themselves, surfing by themselves, etc. A judge in TX put a gal in jail for cutting hair even though they were letting criminals out of jail to keep them from being exposed to the virus. So when you see that kind of stuff going on it is natural to start being very skeptical of the folks in charge.

Some states are open carry states so people are allowed to carry firearms. Other states aren't open carry. Rules vary by states.
