Regarding muzzleloaders, AFAIK unless the laws have been changed, federally a felon can have and use muzzleloaders, even cap and ball revolvers. Check with the BATFE. Whether the state one lives in has tighter restriction, I don't know. Some states restrict to muzzle loading rifles and shotguns but forbid the handguns to felons. Probably get a quick answer from your city and state law enforcement agencies.
