Alabama Bans Sex Toys, But Okay with Guns
 Published: Feb 25, 07

It’s okay to own guns in Alabama, but the state is not okay with sex toys.  A three-judge panel unanimously upheld the statute in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.

According to the statute, it is “unlawful for any person to knowingly distribute any obscene material or any device designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs.” In 1998, the Alabama chapter of the ACLU brought suit on behalf of several plaintiffs — chief among them adult toy retailer Sherri Williams — seeking to enjoin the statute. The recent ruling by the 11th Circuit marks the third trip through the appellate process for the case. (boingboing.net)
