The Indiana Senate passed a bill that would legalize the recreational use of throwing-stars in the state, despite the practice being an uncommon activity.

Star-throwing is on its way to becoming legal in the state of Indiana, after the state Senate passed a bill to legalize recreational use of the uncommon practice.

State Sen. Linda Rogers introduced Senate Bill 77 for the "recreational use of throwing stars."

While throwing-stars remain illegal, the bill would allow "a person who is at least 12 years of age to possess a throwing star for recreational purposes on certain business premises if particular requirements are met. Makes the violation of certain throwing star provisions a Class C misdemeanor."
