In Mississippi, felons are generally prohibited from owning firearms, including modern firearms and certain types of weapons. However, the law is less clear regarding muzzle-loading black powder guns. While some interpretations suggest that felons may be allowed to possess these types of firearms since they are not considered "firearms" under federal law, it is crucial for individuals to consult legal counsel or local authorities to understand their specific circumstances and any potential legal risks.
USC Title 18, forbids convicted felons from possessing firearms. Blackpowder arms are classified as firearms under this statute - UNLESS it is a genuine ANTIQUE manufactured prior to a certain year, you may not legally possess one. And the same applies to the blackpowder necessary to shoot it. Blackpowder is classified as an explosive whose possession is also prohibited to felons.
