Besides strict gun control in Aus (albeit fairly ineffective), I think a

still allowed in the Northern Territory.

There is even finer granularity in the US. In many states fireworks are
illegal across the board. They are legal in this state but are illegal
withing city limits. The city's boundary is rather irregular but around
the 4th of July you can tell where it is by the fireworks stands set up on
the county side of the line.

It was rectified a couple of years ago but previously you did not need a
concealed carry permit in unincorporated areas in the county but did in
the city. On a national level it's even more confusing. I don't have a
problem with that. I believe most legislation should be at the state or
municipality level. If a state such as California has idiotic laws I don't
have to visit there. That's immensely preferable to the idiots trying to
pass national legislation.

I haven't been in the south in some time but there used to be dry counties
either completely or partially.
