The radio is NOT illegal.
You can have, own, listen to it, whatever as long as you do not TRANSMIT on it in the CB band or the Ham bands without your ticket.
Study and get your ticket and you can use it all day long on Ten meters.

The Problem with the radio you are talking about is that it is limited to AM and FM modes of operation only, not useful as the AM/FM portion of Ten is above 29.00 MHz, outside of the range of the radio.
You will find most AM activity around 29.200 and FM at 29.600
The lack of repeater offsets makes it useless for FM repeater work.
I would pass on that radio and save a few more coins and get a radio with SSB.
Much more useful.
I encourage you to study and get you Ham Lic.
