Truck Drivers: Will a CDL issued in one state be honored in another state?
Yes, a commercial drivers license issues to an Interstate Tractor- Trailer driver can travel with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating or "GVWR" of 26,001 lbs. or more, given that the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000lbs. This entails any combination of vehicles, provided with proper endorsements, if more than one trailer. All Commercial Driver Licenses or "CDL" issued as a Interatate Driver is accepted in all 50 states, as long as the driver maintains an active, up-to-date medical card, issued after a proper Department Of Transportation, or DOT, physical has been performed, in accordance to the Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration, or " FMCSA." Any driver that is solely driving within state line limits, would be considered an Instrastate CDL, which is only valid in the state it is issued, and is not accepted in all 50 states. Any person(s) applying for a Instrastate Commercial Drivers License may be between the ages of 18-20. Whereas to obtain a Interstate Commercial Drivers License, the driver applying must be 21 years of age. Any Instrastate CDL holder, once reaching the age of 21, is automatically converted to a Interstate Commercial Drivers License, and is accepted in all 50 states.

Why is collecting rainwater illegal in some states?
When people think "collecting rainwater," they think about this:and think, "why would that be illegal?"But that's not the problem.The problem is when people build reservoirs over hundreds of acres of private property to "collect rainwater," they actually disrupt the behavior of water ecosystems. This is why water law and water rights management gets very complex.For example, here is an example of "rainwater collection" on private property that was deemed "illegal." Man jailed for 30 days after building THREE reservoirs on his own land with enough water to fill 20 Olympic-sized pools With a series of dams and ponds, this landowner amassed 13 million gallons of water that would have otherwise flowed to the watershed.Most places have an exemption for modest amounts of collection for personal use, but the question becomes "where do you draw the line?" Colorado currently (2016) has zero tolerance for any rainwater collection (It is actually illegal in Colorado to collect the rain that falls on your home) and thanks to recalcitrant legislators has been unable to change this state of affairs (Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg: No rain barrels for you).You can read more at Rain, Rain, Stowaway.
Why do gun owners create such silly scenarios to justify carrying their firearm everywhere?
Walk up to one of these paranoid gun owners once. Ask them why they need a gun. I'm sure the first thing your going to hear is about is some highly unlikely event. Every shadow will hold armed gun men. A madman with a firearm will be hiding behind every tree. They will need one when they overthrow the entire government by themselves. Reality is if your targeted you will be dead before you have a chance to reach for your firearm. Reality is that CCW holders don't stop crimes or won't stop that mass murderer. Why do they still stick to their stilly stories is what I wonder. Imagine if I were to use the same idiot logic to my boss. I can't make it to work today because I could get in a car crash on the way. Sorry, I just can't believe that a single of these paranoid gun owners will ever experience what they are selling.
