If he was convicted in state court - not without having his record expunged by the state of AZ - If he is a felon convicted in a FEDERAL court he can never be eligible to own or possess a firearm including black powder weapons.
To the best of my knowledge unless you are a convicted felon you can own a black powder gun.
If you are a state-convicted felon, possibly, depending on the laws of your state. CHECK THEM CAREFULLY.If you are a federally-convicted felon, NO, black powder arms are included in the list of firearms to which you are not allowed access per USC, Title 18.
Yes you can hunt as a convicted Felon in Connecticut, Here is the answer I got from the CT DEP. A convicted felon can possess archery equipment, therefore he can hunt with a bow and arrow in Connecticut. Proof of a bow hunting certification course must be submitted before an archery permit can be issued. Mark Clavette DEP Wildlife Division
In the state of Missouri Its perfectly legal to hunt with a black powder rifle during deer season. In all counties
A hunting license, yes. But NOT a firearm or black powder weapon.
You need to find a lawyer who is familiar with firearms law to get a correct answer.
Am unfamiliar with which of the states MAY allow this, but I can tell you that the FEDERAL LAW (USC Title 18) governing convicted felons and firearms possession specifically names and describes black powder arms as firearms - which are prohibited to convicted felons.
In south carolina "state law " a convicted felon may own a fire arm made before 1898 it's considered an antique, but " federal law " states that a convicted felon may not possess explosives... which means you're allowed to own the antique weapon but not the powder or ammunition to go in it.
yesAnother View: Refer to 18 USC, Sections 921 & 922 which specifically define black powder arms as FIREARMS which are prohibited to convicted felons.In addition: Black powder itself is classified as an explosive, the possession of explosives is prohibited to convicted felons as as well.
