To the best of my knowledge unless you are a convicted felon you can own a black powder gun.
In North Carolina, a pistol permit is not required to purchase or possess a black powder pistol. However, you must be at least 18 years old and can purchase black powder firearms without a permit. It's important to comply with any local laws regarding the use and storage of such firearms. Always check for the most current regulations, as laws can change.
It is FEDERAL Law that classifies black powder weapons as firearms. . . and therefore, prohibited to convicted felons.
If he was convicted in state court - not without having his record expunged by the state of AZ - If he is a felon convicted in a FEDERAL court he can never be eligible to own or possess a firearm including black powder weapons.
yesAnother View: Refer to 18 USC, Sections 921 & 922 which specifically define black powder arms as FIREARMS which are prohibited to convicted felons.In addition: Black powder itself is classified as an explosive, the possession of explosives is prohibited to convicted felons as as well.
Am unfamiliar with which of the states MAY allow this, but I can tell you that the FEDERAL LAW (USC Title 18) governing convicted felons and firearms possession specifically names and describes black powder arms as firearms - which are prohibited to convicted felons.
In south carolina "state law " a convicted felon may own a fire arm made before 1898 it's considered an antique, but " federal law " states that a convicted felon may not possess explosives... which means you're allowed to own the antique weapon but not the powder or ammunition to go in it.
