Damn, you are not representin' well for BYU tonight. LEGAL definition would be what the state definition is, right?
No it's the states definition of what is legal to use in that state, not what an object is.
I used this before, it is a good comparison. In Illinois a .22 pistol is not a legal firearm to hunt deer but a .44 pistol is. by your deduction you would say a .22 pistol is not a firearm because the states legal definition says it's not.
I've answered before. I would say a.22 is not a legal (or ethical) caliber to hunt deer with in that state.
The
state's definition of legal is the legal definition in the state.
Wasn't that easy?
