First off, why the hell are you idiots that are saying don't hurt the bunnies even in the hunting section? Get a clue! As for the question, yes it is legal in your state, and like others had said before there is great fun to be had rabbit hunting with a .22LR. It's much more enjoyable then hunting with a 12 gauge ( wouldn't use 12 gauge on rabbits anyways/// I use a 16 when I use a shotgun).

I've taken almost all of my rabbits with a Rem model 597 and its the challenge of the hunt that most hunters love about the sport. I would suggest using a shotgun only if you a hunting with dogs. Also like someone else said before me, make sure you have a back stop/firing into something like a tree when shooting squirrels because the .22LR cartridge will throw that bullet pretty far at god knows what. Be responsible and have fun!!!
