Contact the US Attorney office in your area. Generally a felon is prohibited from possessing a firearm, and a black powder gun is a firearm.

The US Attorney can restore your rights to firearm possession.

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.


In Florida can a convicted felon be around someone who owns a firearm?

A felon can be "around" a person with a firearm as long as the felon doesn't own or possess the firearm, however, "possess" is subjective. If the felon can access the firearm, it might be considered possession if something were to happen.


Can a convicted felon hunt with a muzzleloader in Maine?

In Maine, convicted felons are prohibited from possessing firearms, including muzzleloaders, unless they have received a pardon or their rights have been restored. It is important for felons to check with local authorities to ensure they are in compliance with all laws and regulations regarding firearms possession.


If off probation can felons own a gun to hunt?

If the felony is still on your record, no. A pardon usually pardons you from prison time, but does not remove the felony from your record. It depends on the state and the crime. I was convicted in 2002 for a theft charge in Louisiana. After finishing my probation and all the stipulations I was given a first offenders pardon. I am allowed to posses/own a gun now. I am not sure from state to state the laws.
