Even more confusing ... in my state black powder guns are not "firearms" for the purposes of purchase (I can buy a black powder 6-shooter through the mail or at Cabela's with no background check, no 4473 or state equivalent), but they ARE "firearms" for purposes of carry. So I can legally buy a BP revolver at Cabela's and drive home with it in a bag, but I can't subsequently take it out of the house without a carry permit.
