    Lightbulb Reno bans the use of whips downtown...

    Reno bans the use of whips downtown...
    simpsons-whip.gif
    The Reno City Council has banned the possession and use of whips without a permit in the greater downtown area after police reported a steep increase over the past two years of 911 calls from residents who mistake the sound of a cracking whip for gunfire. Whips are a part of daily life in many rural areas where ranchers and livestock operators use the sharp “crack” produced when the whip’s tip breaks the speed of sound to scare and direct or herd animals.

    The council voted 6-1 to approve the new ordinance Wednesday.

    Police recommended banning their use downtown because the sound resembles that of shots being fired from a firearm, Reno Police Chief Jason Soto said. He said they’re also being used in public areas for fights and intimidation.

    Should we ban clapping, loud mufflers and firecrackers?

    In Reno, you can pick up a hooker, but not one with a whip.

    Keep that in mind!

    I keep the whips in my toy bag at home.
    Safe, Sane, and Consensual, as they say.


    All I do now with them is use them as a kitty toy. They chase and bite the little leather thingy at the end.
