Default Legality of Beadlocks?

I really want beadlocks in the future, but I saw on here somewhere that they are illegal. Is this true? And if so, why?

Makes sense if you think about it, there is the liability that it could come off and cause damage to a vehicle. I know if they are mounted correctly there is very little chance of it happening, but if someone was lazy and only did 2 or so mounting points you could see it becoming a projectile.

It would help for those who indicate that beadlocks are illegal in their state, to insert a link to something that proves that.
Not that I doubt any of you, but it might help others in searching for similar language for their states.

True, but it looks to me as if they are only illegal if the tire is held on solely by the ring (I'm not educated on how they work exactly so pardon my ignorance) so if they weren't, then it would be legal it seems...
