But what if the law is antiquated, backwards, and lacks common sense? The only way to bring these laws "out" is for them to be exposed by normal, law abiding citizens. Do you really think that people aren't homebrewing in MS and AL because it is "illegal"?
It seems like homebrew law change when someone DOES get in trouble. I am thinking specifically Oregon. They got the law changed in their favor because the antiquated law was shown to be useless....but it took someone to get in trouble before lawmakers took notice.
Breaking the law because of a poorly written or interpreted statute is a far different animal than advocating breaking a law when you are fully cognizant of the law.
