Regardless of whatever the law is in Alabama - it is a violation of FEDERAL law for a felon to possess a black powder firearm. It is treated the same as any other firearm under the US Code.

Under US Code, Title 18, Black Powder weapons are not classified as "firearms" but rather as "antique firearms" (under most conditions) and are regulated very differently, for instance not requiring background checks or registration.
