The questions is not "Black Powder", More it is a question of the definitions of a firearm and of a pistol. CT law would consider a black powder pistol a firearm because it can fire a projectile and the barrel length would also fall under the definition of a pistol.
Below is a decision made in CT from the law library.
"Replica antique pistol, which fired a .44 caliber ball propelled by a black powder charge, instead of a bullet from a fixed cartridge, constituted a weapon under section; defendant's claim of implicit "antique gun exception" to prohibitions of section rejected. 49 CS 248."

What are the Concealed carry laws black powder guns NC?
To obtain a concealed carry permit in the state of North Carolina, you must attend a certified course (the price of which will typically range from $50 - $150). While attending this course, you will receive instruction on the laws of lethal force in North Carolina, and you will have to do some firing, as well. After taking the course, you go to your County Sheriff's Department, with $90 in hand. At that point, you will be fingerprinted, then undergo an extensive background check, which takes around two months to complete. Provided the background check doesn't turn up anything which renders you invalid to obtain a concealed carry permit, you will receive a permit which is valid for five years. Without this permit, you may not carry a firearm concealed in North Carolina, whether a contemporary firearm, or a black powder firearm. As for specific laws pertaining to what you may carry, there are none in regards to a black powder pistol. You may not carry long barreled weapons concealed, and you may not carry NFA weapons concealed (i.e., full auto weapons, short barreled rifles/shotguns, anything listed as "any other weapon", such as pistols with a forward grip attached). That goes for both modern firearms and black powder weapons. (DOC) N.C.
