In New York State, black powder pistols are considered firearms and require a permit to possess and carry, just like other firearms. The process for obtaining a permit for a black powder pistol is similar to that for other firearms.
In Tennessee, black powder revolvers are generally classified as firearms, but they are subject to more lenient regulations compared to modern firearms. Individuals can purchase, possess, and carry black powder revolvers without a permit, as long as they are at least 18 years old. However, it’s important to note that federal laws still apply, and individuals prohibited from owning firearms under federal law may not be able to possess black powder revolvers. Always check local laws and regulations, as they can vary.
In Idaho, a black powder pistol is generally not considered a firearm under state law, as it is classified as an "antique firearm." However, federal law does classify black powder guns as firearms, which means they are subject to certain regulations. Therefore, while you may not need a permit to own or carry one in Idaho, it is important to be aware of both state and federal laws regarding their use. Always check for any updates or changes in legislation that may affect this classification.

No, you cannot carry a concealed handgun in Michigan with a Tennessee handgun permit. Michigan requires individuals to have a Michigan Concealed Pistol License (CPL) to carry concealed in the state.

If you have a handgun carry permit, definitely. The handgun carry permit covers "any handgun that you legally own or posses."
The questions is not "Black Powder", More it is a question of the definitions of a firearm and of a pistol. CT law would consider a black powder pistol a firearm because it can fire a projectile and the barrel length would also fall under the definition of a pistol. Below is a decision made in CT from the law library. "Replica antique pistol, which fired a .44 caliber ball propelled by a black powder charge, instead of a bullet from a fixed cartridge, constituted a weapon under section; defendant's claim of implicit "antique gun exception" to prohibitions of section rejected. 49 CS 248."

No. A flare gun is classfied as a firearm because it uses gunpowder and shoots a projectile. Federal law prohibits the use of firearms by felons. Therefore a flare gun would not be able to be posessed by a felon.
I wouldn't try that. Get a permit.
