Rules vary from Kingdom to Kingdom as well as from State to State. Speaking 
from experience, I'd check it out with both authorities and know how solid 
the ground was on which I stood in the future. Any actual rules are written 
and are available for reading in either your Kingdom or State lawbooks.

I've found a lot of people who should know better assume there are rules 
where their aren't any, or are just making it up as they go along for 
whatever reason. I always assume the former, as I never attribute to malice 
what can be explained by ignorance. I'm not saying this is the case, and 
naturally, common sense should rule, but I find it's better to know the rules 
beforehand if possible.

I have also found it's easy to forget just how young some of our young people 
are, which is another reason to use common sense (as if it WERE common <G>).
