Any states that allow large (over 6.5" inside spread) traps on land, that also require offset jaws?

Trying to finalize an order, wondering if i need extra stuff. Thanks.

Indiana, any pawhold set on land over 5.5 from hinge post to hinge post must be offset at least 1/8th.

Can't exceed 6.5 inches though, unless completely submerged. Thinking about predator trapping out west.

Oklahoma is nothing over 8” but has to be offset. No specific rules on width of offset.

New Mexico reads, "Not foot hold trap with an outside spread more than 7 inches, if laminated above the jaw surfaces shall be used in making a land set. Not tooth jawed traps are permitted. Any foot hold trap with an inside jaw spread 5.5 inches or larger shall be offset, unless it has padded jaws."

In Arkansas traps must be offset if inside jaw spread is over 5 inches if I am not mistaken. It is is either 5 or 5.5.

Edit: Checked the AGFC site. If over 5 inches inside trap must be offset or rubber padded. Max inside spread on land is 6 inches and in water is 8.5 inches.

Forester gave you the simple version, but that's the jist of it.

Yep, and measured across at the dog. Technically i could inside lam a #5 Duke to 6" and use it.(but whats the point unless you need a wide face jaw?)
