What I want is a map of the states where owning a raccoon was expressly, specifically made legal. States where the law plainly says that it is legal to own a raccoon.

Loopholes, sloppy legislation, and situations where someone can say “well, it’s not technically against the law” do not count.

I mean, the default for everything is being legal until made illegal.

You’re not going to find many things explicitly made legal unless they’re exemptions to a law that would otherwise make it illegal.

Yeah, I see what you’re talking about. Okay, specific exemptions count!
