Makes a lot of difference whether you're in a rural area or a metro area. Some small towns & counties have absolutely no regs regarding this, or they simply don't enforce them.
But watch out for the federal guys! The regs are in place, and they WILL enforce them, but they can't be everywhere. They may be in your neighborhood tomorrow. You never know. If they catch you, you will be screwed. Best to find out what the regs are, and start complying now. When everyone else gets busted, you'll be the only one left in business. Git 'er done!
