Felons in all states are not allowed to use firearms or have them in their possession.
The person who left the above answer fail to clarify that they are talking about federal law. State law varies from state to state. Arizona is one state where it is possible for felons to have their gun rights restored. Granted after having those rights restored Arizona state law enforcment can't arrest you for carrying a firearm but if you run into a federal law enforcement officer they can, but how often do you realy run into the feds! Besides you would end up in Az state court, case dismissed! Short answer, YES a convicted felon CAN carry a firearm in Arizona IF he has had his gun rights restored

You are not a felon your wife is is she in violation of the law in nc if you own a black powder revolver?
As long as you are the owner of the weapon and the weapon is not around her then it is ok for you to own the weapon. If it is in reach of her or anywhere that she can get to the powder, rounds or weapon then she can be charged. It is my advice to keep the weapon at a friends house or other family members house or sell it so that she is safe.

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.
