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.

What is the state law owning a black powder gun in Missouri if you are a convicted felon?

State law has nothing to do with it. It is a FEDERAL offense for a convicted felon to own or possess a firearm or ammunition of ANY type, ANY where, for ANY reason. (US Code, Title 18). It is not a FEDERAL offense to own BLACK POWDER pistols or rifles, if you are a felon. They are NOT considered FIREARMS as long as they represent such guns manufactured prior to early 1900, are muzzle loaders, cap and ball, flintlock, known as percussion guns. A replica such as a Colt 1851/1858 .44 cal revolver, cap and ball, black powder gun is NOT considered a FIREARM. None of the black powder guns, either pistol or rifle are considered FIREARMS. per code of federal regulations , and the ATF. Even a Federal Felon, can own a black powder gun, in most States. Even though the respective State is in error if they deny a Felon the right to own and shoot a BLACK POWDER gun, most felons challenging the States decision to deny, will find a long and expensive court battle. There are less than a half dozen States that do not recognize the Federal Law view that black powder guns are NOT FIREARMS. So if you are a felon, don't be in one of those States if you intend on owning a black powder rifle or pistol. Mail order,buy at a gun show or private individual, and have some fun shooting black powder.

Can a Maine felon hunt with black powder guns?

Yes. A black powder rifle is a "firearm" under the definition of USC Title 18. ** Most blackpowder weapons do not fall under the definition of a firearm. So whoever gave the answer above is partially wrong.*** The above addendum is INCORRECT: Read the statute! It specifically addresses black powder arms. Felons ARE prohibited their ownership or possession.
