 you ARE allowed to hang it from your rear view mirror. in order to "restrict your view", it would have to hang directly in front of you, like you were hanging it from the driver's side visor. now, HERE, you aren't even allowed to POSSESS it in your car if it's loaded. (an unloaded weapon is not a weapon unless it's big enough to use as a club.)


now, if it IS hanging from your visor, and we see that it hanging from your visor nearly causes an accident, or if you are in an accident with it hanging from your visor, THEN AND ONLY THEN will we even bother you about it.


by the way, if you want to see something impressive, watch what happens when you list cell phone usage as the proximal cause of an accident on your accident report. your insurance company drops you like a hot stone, and they don't have to pick you up ever again. we call it DISTRACTED DRIVING, and we issue large tickets for it.

actually, you are not allowed to hang it from your rear-view mirror. it's technically illegal because it obstructs your forward view. and yes, even those evergreen air fresheners are not technically allowed to hang from your mirror.
