The city of Charlottesville, VA, (home to the awesomest University on the planet) currently has a law on the books that forbids panhandling in and around the city’s Downtown Mall area.

However, a federal appeals panel has said the lower court was too hasty in tossing the case out. [via CourthouseNews.com]
