Yes. Even though the laws pertaining to their ownership differ in certain areas from those of conventional firearms, they are still firearms, both by definition, and by law.
Muzzle loaders were very early forms of mainly rifle style, but also pistols. Technically a modern mortar is a muzzle loader.
No you can not be in a home, business , or vehicle with a fire ARM and under new federal law a muzzle loader is a fire ARM
Federal Law's trump state Law's and the federal law says a muzzle loader is NOT considered a fire arm.
Muzzle loading guns must be loaded in parts though the end of the barrel. The method of igniting the gunpowder in a muzzle loader is different than modern guns in that it uses a primer cap or pan instead of hitting primer inside of a bullet shell. Muzzle loaders are neither center fire nor rim fire.
A 'muzzle loader' is any firearm (or cannon) which does not have a breech mechanism and which is 'charged' (loaded with powder and shot) from the muzzle end of the barrel.
If a hang fire happens when firing a muzzle loader, keep the gun pointed in a safe direction for at least 30 seconds in case the round ignites late. After waiting, carefully remove the round and inspect it for any signs of malfunction before safely disposing of it.
