my mother just told me the most hilarious instance of blue laws in action. when she was in college in north carolina, they were not allowed to dance on sundays. so when they were out at the bar on saturday night, cops would come in at midnight and stop people from dancing, despite the fact that band was still playing and the bar stayed open until 2. just because it was illegal to dance on sundays. also here in atlanta you are not allowed to buy alcohol on sundays. beer and wine are still on the shelves in the grocery stores, but they will not sell it to you. blue laws are weird. i also do not know what prompted this blue law discussion between myself and my mother, but it was hilarious.
