Carboro, NC. is the place you are thinking of, I believe.

Phillip Harvey who owns A&E is a great man, philanthropist, etc. The city has given him awards, and he is also very involved in (free) condom distribution in Africa.

These rulings won't really affect them. The only thing that is illegal is selling a sex toy as a sex toy -- retail. I don't think their manufacturing and distribution will be affected.

Thing is, Adult stores exist regardless of the laws. If someone walks up to the register with a toy, it is legal to sell it to them, unless you happen to comment "that is a great toy for clitoral stimulation" -- then it becomes illegal. In states where toy sales are illegal (thankfully, not Ohio), you'll always find a sign similar to "ALL ITEMS SOLD FOR NOVELTY PURPOSES ONLY".

Here in Ohio, only the movies I sell are potentially illegal. I can demo and explain toys all I want.
Which is good because I get to help a lot of people out. You'd be suprised at the number of middle aged couples coming in for erection enhancement -- who would most likely never say anything to their Dr., and can't aford $10/pill for viagra.
