I'm quite sure it happens often. Your question doesn't qualify whether it's LEGAL, only whether they CAN. Of course they can, provided they have full use of both hands and at least one eye... besides having possession of a black powder gun and everything it takes to discharge one with a projectile.
Legally... since most black powder guns are not considered "firearms", it's also probably legal to do so. However... the question begs to be asked: why? It's begging for trouble, pushing the foil. They've been denied access to conventional modern firearms - why not get used to it & "walk away from the fence"?
Added; 18 USC (921 & 922) address convicted felon's possession of blackpowder arms and identify the only "lawful" type for them as "antiques" manufactured in (or before) 1899, or EXACT replicas of those firearms. Modern blackpowder arms ar prohibited to felons.
