State law has nothing to do with it. It is a FEDERAL offense for a convicted felon to own or possess a firearm or ammunition of ANY type, ANY where, for ANY reason. (US Code, Title 18). It is not a FEDERAL offense to own BLACK POWDER pistols or rifles, if you are a felon. They are NOT considered FIREARMS as long as they represent such guns manufactured prior to early 1900, are muzzle loaders, cap and ball, flintlock, known as percussion guns. A replica such as a Colt 1851/1858 .44 cal revolver, cap and ball, black powder gun is NOT considered a FIREARM. None of the black powder guns, either pistol or rifle are considered FIREARMS. per code of federal regulations , and the ATF. Even a Federal Felon, can own a black powder gun, in most States. Even though the respective State is in error if they deny a Felon the right to own and shoot a BLACK POWDER gun, most felons challenging the States decision to deny, will find a long and expensive court battle. There are less than a half dozen States that do not recognize the Federal Law view that black powder guns are NOT FIREARMS. So if you are a felon, don't be in one of those States if you intend on owning a black powder rifle or pistol. Mail order,buy at a gun show or private individual, and have some fun shooting black powder.
