    Between States with more or less lax laws on liquor, firearms, explosives, tobacco, etc, there’s usually various merchants immediately on the side of the border with more lax laws.

      I don’t know if it is still the case, but the border between Washington and Idaho went from motorcycle helmet law to no helmet law and when people drove from Seattle to Sturgis there would be a ditch full of motorcycle helmets just across the border into Idaho on I-90.

        Was that like some sort of take-a-helmet, leave-a-helmet situation? Were there bikers in the ditch who were heading westward looking for a brain bucket?
