Best Answer

Tennessee State Law allows the ownership of a muzzleloader. However, it is not legal for a felon to own a primer as it is considered reloading equipment. Hence the only muzzleloaders legal to be owned by a felon would be percussion cap, flintlock, etc.

Added: IF (repeat) IF Tennessee law allows this, their right to possess it exists only while they are within that state. Ther posession of it outside of Tennessee is unlawful (under FEDERAL law) unless the weapon is an antique and was manufactured prior to 1868, or an exact replica of such a weapon.

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!

Can a felon own an air rifle in Tennessee?

He can, but doing so is a violation of federal felony firearms regulations. It is not legal anywhere in the US for a felon to be in possession (and that can include close proximity to) of a firearm. Federal regulation denotes a firearm as any device that expels a projectile by means of explosive force. An air rifle fits that definition.

What is a carbine air rifle?

A carbine resembles a rifle, but has a smooth barrel while the rifle has a grooved barrel. The grooved barrel gives a rifle greater accuracy, but a lower muzzle velocity. An air rifle is a rilfe that uses compressed air to launch a pellet, rather than an explosive charge to launch a bullet. <><><><><> A Carbine has nothing to do with rifling. It's a short barrel air rifle or a pistol that has a rifle butt-stock attached to it. In a since it's a cross between a pistol and a rifle. They fire the same ammo as a full size air rifle but are not as accurate. They are used because they are lighter in weight and good in close quarters.
