As a parent, I always have emergency items for anything that comes up with my children. This includes safety pins, Band Aids, note pads, business cards for play dates, pocket flashlights and permanent markers for spontaneous school projects or quick notes to be left on windshields of people who blocked me in a parking lot. Little did I know that the notes are OK to leave, but writing them with a permanent marker I possessed in public may not be. In some states it's actually illegal to own a permanent marker.
According to basically every anti-graffiti state law out there, it is illegal simply to possess "broad-tipped indelible markers" or "aerosol cans" in a public place, because they can be used to commit acts of vandalism. You can find such regulations all over the United States, from Florida to New York to California, which also make it a crime to buy permanent markers for anyone under 18.
California spends millions each year to clean up grafitti. Going with this logic and law, as an outdoor art teacher, you can spend up to a year in prison for having a craft class at a local shelter for the day and any art school possessing these markers can also be in violation of state laws. No joke.
