Can a convicted felon own a 22 caliber rifle in KY?

Answer 1

No. You can not own a weapon of any kind. You may remember you signed an agreement (A CONTRACT) before your release from prison or jail or probation. You can NOT own any Rifle, Long Gun, Short Gun, Hand Gun, Pellet Gun, Blow Gun, Air Gun, Cannon, Black Powder Gun, Crossbow, Bolts, Ammo, or any kind of gun. However, you may own a Bow. -Walter

Answer 2

The Federal Laws governing firearms do not classify muzzleloaders as a "firearm" , and in most states you can buy one with no paperwork or background check. However that does not make it technically legal for a felon to poses it. I have read of cases pertaining to this where the person was hassled at great expense in time and money by local law enforcement regardless of the intended use, only to be convicted on possession of explosives charges for having black powder. The "best practice" I have heard of is obtaining a waiver from BATFE or your local jurisdiction so you have paper in hand showing proof of legal possession, after all it is not worth your time, money or potential freedom dealing with an over zealous prosecutor or non gun friendly jurisdiction when a simple document could prevent it. This topic has been discussed at length for years both pro and con, and what it boils down to is a case by case determination. You can go to free advice.com ( http://forum.freeadvice.com/other-crimes-federal-state-4/ex-felons-black-powder-weapons-legal-386903.html) or better yet to the BATF site ( http://www.atf.gov/firearms/index.htm) and get a more direct answer for your state and county, but the best advice would be to speak to an authority in your state or to BATFE to be 100% sure.

No, but Kentucky law prohibits only the possession of a HANDgun by a convicted felon. It is FEDERAL law that prohibits any person convicted of a felony from possessing ANY firearm anywhere, including Kentucky.

No, BB guns, air rifles, dart guns, or any similar item is still considered a firearm and must be surendered with other firearms.
