No, not if it is a native species.

If that's the case, then it depends on what species of chipmunk you get right? If so, easterns (Tamius striatus) would not be legal, but any of the other 27 species of chipmunk would be allowed, as long as they're not protected species. However, the vast majority of those species are not available unless you catch one. Not sure what species is the one sold in pet stores on occasion, but I think it might be the eastern.
