That's a good question, Black Powder 'guns' are no longer considered firearms, that's why anyone can order them online and have them shipped directly to their house without a FFL.
I'm going to look into this some more...
Some states consider them to be firearms. In those states felons would be prohibited from ownership. Check with law enforcement in your jurisdiction.

∙ 13y agoA felon can petition to own and use black powder weapons for hunting or target shooting purposes. However it is up to the judge to grant this right, also during anytime you using the gun you must have with you a court order.
Added: It must either be a genuine antique pistol produced and manufactured prior to 1895, or an EXACT replica of it. ALSO. Felons are forbidden to possess explosives including black powder. How you manage to get around this conundrum, I don't know.

No. A flare gun is classfied as a firearm because it uses gunpowder and shoots a projectile. Federal law prohibits the use of firearms by felons. Therefore a flare gun would not be able to be posessed by a felon.
Is it legal for a convicted felon to posses a black powder pistole in Fl with a smokeless drop in conversion cylinder?
Upon installing the cylinder you have, according to the law (or at least the ATF), manufactured a firearm. So the simple answer is "No". It is not legal for a felon to own a firearm (gun) and once you install a conversion cylinder that pistol is no longer a "non-gun" black powder pistol.

What is the state law owning a black powder gun in Missouri if you are a convicted felon?
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.
