For the moment in Missouri.
My oldest picked up one of the 1858 Piettas two weeks back at a local shop. Paid his money and walked out the door. On a side note, I like the trend he has taken in his first firearm purchases of his very own. First was a Knight in-line, second was a Thompson Hawken, and now this revolver. Makes me feel kind of warm and fuzzy.

States
Yes, as stated earlier safe from the feds, not from the states.
Oregon for instance defines black powder weapons as a firearm which prevents their possession by felons. I'm sure Oregon is not the only state that makes that distinction. And ya know what? I don't have an issue with that. Felons are a prohibited person.

Feds don't care. States do. Know your state.

According to the BATF, Black Powder firearms, either originals or replicas, are not firearms. They follow the rules of antique firearms. I am of course speaking of firearms loaded with loose powder, not cartridges. It varies from state to state though. A number of years ago some body decided they needed to put a trigger lock on a flintlock hanging in the State House in Boston. I dunno if the trigger lock is still on it. Have not been in the State House in a long time. |

Luckily, my state (KY) is pretty good in regards to BP in particular and firearms in general, so I know I'm good there. |

safe?
As long as a person did not use a gun in the commission of the crime, and has fully served his time, I see no reason a felon can't own a gun.
Besides his debt to society is supposed to be considered paid in full after he has served his time, and is supposed to have his rights fully restored. But leave it to the politicians to change the rules. No our guns are not safe from the anyone. They will change the rules someday. |

Disagree strongly
Please let's not drift the thread. I became a WA resident a couple years back. Oregon is THE most fouled up state Govt. wise I have ever encountered.
Just like cartridge guns we have to know the state of residence. It's highly variable. I am not worried about felons access to BP guns.

Nothing is safe from the current batch of lib gun banners. These yutes are looking to repeal the 2nd.
If you haven't already please join the NRA or similar organization that is fighting for our 2nd Amendment Rights.
