∙ 11y agoAnswer is NO. Must have civil rights restored from the courts. Muzzleloader shoots a projectile caused by the event of an explosion. Which translates by state code not federal code but state code to be a firearm.

Wyoming does not consider a percussion cap ignited muzzleloader as a firearm. With that being said a convicted felon can be in possession of a mosul loader within the state of Wyoming.

Can a felon hunt with muzzleloader in Indiana?
I, too, am a convicted felon. Although I find it difficult to find any solid facts on the laws regarding muzzle loaders, I do believe a convicted felon can hunt with a muzzle loader in the state of Indiana. I asked the same question while recently incarcerated in the Knox County, Indiana jail, and all thirty-one inmates in my block agreed that it is lawful to do so. ALL other types of firearms, however, are off limits. Another great alternative is high-powered air rifles. They're not just kid's toys anymore!
