AFAIK, it is illegal to possess, transport, or detonate a nuclear
device in Davis, California. Each violation is a $50 ticket.

Now that would make for an interesting episode of ‘COPS’…

Police officer: ‘Sir, please put down the nuclear device and step
away from the vehicle.’

Unshaven white guy wearing a sleeveless ‘wifebeater’ t-shirt at
