As far as areas like armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, etc., it doesn't matter how a gun is loaded, it is a firearm and a deadly weapon.

Indiana law does not regulate the carry of non cartridge weapons. Still, I would never carry my cap and ball pistol without my license to carry, because not all LEOs know the law well, and I don't need the hassle.
