From what I have found out even though black powder guns do not fall under the BATFE firearms regulations, they do fall under the same laws as "firearms" when it comes to carry or concealed carry. nraila.org has an extensive database for state and local laws governing weapons carry and permits required.
In the technical sense no it is not loaded via the muzzle of the gun, black powder revolver is accurate as terms go, but they do fall under the blanket of "muzzle loader" in general terms.
Black powder, or a black powder substitute such as Pyrodex. Smokeless powder (modern gun powder) should not be used in a traditional muzzle loading firearm.
Most areas will allow a loaded muzzle loader in a vehicle so long as it is unprimed, (no powder in the pan, percussion cap or 209 primer) though not a safe idea, and you should always check with the local jurisdiction to be sure.
Answeryes, a muzzle loader and black powder are just two different names for the same thing.Black powder is a term that also includes a category of guns that fire black powder cartridges. So these guns were breech loaders and do not load from the muzzle. Also the early black powder revolvers were loaded by ramming the charge into the cylinders---not the muzzle. These could also be referred to as black powder pistols and not muzzle loaders.I just call them "smoke poles" myself.Also, the early Colt pistols fired black powder and a ball. These are called "black powder pistols" or "cap and ball pistols". If I was referring to shooting a Colt, I would say I shoot a black powder gun; I would not refer to it as a muzzle-loader.
Everything is loaded from the end of the muzzle. Pour a quantity of black powder down the barrel and tamp it down with the push-rod. Follow that with some shot pellets and tamp those down too. That forms a tight 'plug'.

When using a muzzle loading gun it is important to ensure that it can handle modern smokeless powder because of the greater amount of force produced by smokeless powder as opposed to using the black powder that the muzzle loader was intended for.

No. Mosern .22 shorts are loaded with smokeless powder. .22 short black powder is loaded with just that - black powder. Smokeless powder develops higher pressures than black powder and should not be blindly used without some confirmation that the gun will handle the pressures. Consult a local gunsmith.
a ball of metal used as a projectile in black powder, muzzle loaders
110 any more you just blow power out of the muzzle.
yes cause you use black powder for a muzzle loader but for a real gun its all in the bullet and the hammer...
