Individual cities can alter their code from the NEC. In North Texas, one city does not allow 14 ga. while all others do.
I never use 14 on plugs, but always do on lighting circuits (I never put lights and plugs together).

Sorry, I forgot. In this area we are not allowed to used 15A circuits. Wish we could.

14ga copper is standard for a 15 amp circuit. It's building code. 12ga is used for 20 amp circuits.

What's a 14 gauge wire doing connected to an outlet? It should be 12 gauge, which doesn't fit in the back connections and can only be wrapped around the screw.
