My guess is that it would be more accurate to say that in certain states, there are still laws on the books saying that it is a crime to wear the Square and Compass unless one is a Master Mason in good standing. There are lots of strange (and unenforceable) laws still on the books all around the country.

I'd be amazed if (1) any law enforcement agency in the country would waste its time trying to enforcing such a law, or (2) any court would convict on the basis of a law that so obviously infringes upon free speech rights in an area where the government has absolutely no interest whatsoever.
