Some counties and cities in South Carolina, including the city of Columbia and Richland County, have exotic pet laws that limit venomous snake ownership and sales.

I imagine that most people from South Carolina who leave the reptile show with a venomous snake believe it is legal for them to own in Columbia or the other cities and counties where they are illegal. Why would someone think it was legal in the state but illegal in their county or city?

Most people in the USA who keep venomous snakes do so illegally. Yet there are still people crying for more laws and regulations.

The USA has five percent of the world's people but has twenty-five percent of the world's prisoners. The USA is already the world's largest penal colony, the largest in world history.

We don't need any more laws or anymore prisoners. We are the most over policed and prosecuted people in world history. Not everyone makes it to jail or prison though. Police in the USA kill over one thousand Americans every year.
