US Code, Title 18 includes black powder arms as being among those firearms which convicted felons cannot possess. If you live in some states you may have your firearms rights restored by THAT INDIVIDUAL STATE. Check your local state statutes for this information.
False. Any black powder firearm manufactured 1898 or earlier and replicas of such are classified as antique firearm exceptions are arm that can be converted to fixed type ammo or that uses cartridges that are still being produced. Anyone can own a antique firearm that is why there in no background checks on them.
No. A muzzle loader is a firearm under the definition contained in USC Title 18 and is a federal offense. No convicted felon may own or possess a firearm anywhere, at anytime, in any state or US possession.
No.
No Maine considers a muzzle loader a firearm...
Generally not, you are prohibited by federal law from possessing a firearm.
Depends on the laws in that state, and the type of muzzle loader. Under Federal law they cannot use a gun with 209 primers (shotgun primers) as the primers are considered ammunition. In some- but NOT all states, they can hunt with a caplock or flintlock.
Federal Law's trump state Law's and the federal law says a muzzle loader is NOT considered a fire arm.
This is what I was told by a federal game warden it is not illegal for a felon to hunt with a black powder gun or a standard bow. A crossbow is illegal. A crossbow, shotgun, rifle, or any handgun it is illegal for a felon to possess.
No, they used sticks and clubs.
Yes
being a former federal fire arms license holder i can say that in the state of Georgia you cannot hunt with any firearm you can hunt with a bow or a crossbow and this is accectipable in most other states

Can a fell on Deer hunt in the state of Ohio with the muscle odor
A felon can not hunt with a gun or bow in Georgia.
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!
