Contact the US Attorney office in your area. Generally a felon is prohibited from possessing a firearm, and a black powder gun is a firearm.
The US Attorney can restore your rights to firearm possession.
Yes. A black powder rifle is a "firearm" under the definition of USC Title 18. ** Most blackpowder weapons do not fall under the definition of a firearm. So whoever gave the answer above is partially wrong.*** The above addendum is INCORRECT: Read the statute! It specifically addresses black powder arms. Felons ARE prohibited their ownership or possession.
A felon can be "around" a person with a firearm as long as the felon doesn't own or possess the firearm, however, "possess" is subjective. If the felon can access the firearm, it might be considered possession if something were to happen.
No Maine considers a muzzle loader a firearm...
If the felony is still on your record, no. A pardon usually pardons you from prison time, but does not remove the felony from your record. It depends on the state and the crime. I was convicted in 2002 for a theft charge in Louisiana. After finishing my probation and all the stipulations I was given a first offenders pardon. I am allowed to posses/own a gun now. I am not sure from state to state the laws.

To the best of my knowledge unless you are a convicted felon you can own a black powder gun.
No. There is no state were a felon may own any firearm.
Nope, it's illegal.
If he was convicted in state court - not without having his record expunged by the state of AZ - If he is a felon convicted in a FEDERAL court he can never be eligible to own or possess a firearm including black powder weapons.
ask your state Attorny General
such expungement action is usually done by an attorney through the court
Of course they can carry one, that does not mean they are allowed to do so.
