Yeah. I know. I'm being simplistic. I just don't want to end up like that guy in that move 'Falling Down'. I'd be dangerous with a weapon. I have bad road rage, and I would have been incarcerated YEARS ago if I lived in America...It'd be a bit like a Mad Max scenario here in the Adelaide hills if I'd be allowed to carry a weapon..

hey guys i was wondering if any of you knew weather a cap and ball pistole would be leagle for me to open carry when huntign and checking traps since its a replica antique gun and it doestn officially count as a firarm in the written laws since it is a replica of a gun made before 1898, any info would be nice i may just have to call the courthouse and ask. Im not old enough to get a permit to carry so i was thinking this would be a way around that for sportsmans uses.

A firearm is a firearm regardless of the ignition system.

I am a ccw holder and regularly carry a Glock 23, 40cal. Like a few others, I am also in Arizona which is very liberal with gun rights.

Actually, say for example a felon gets out of prison. He is not allowed to buy a firearm, correct? Also firearms cant be mailed to you unless lyou have your FFL.
Now a Blackpowder rifle can be both mailed and purchased in the previous scenarios. How accurate are they? Mine groups in a 6 inch circle at 300 yards.

thats what i was gettign at str8shooter and i dident know if that loop hole extends to a minor being able to have one for hunting and trapping.

18 Pa.C.S. § 6110.1: Possession of firearm by minor

I would trust that information over any opinion you get on a forum.

I might be wrong, I was wrong once before ..... but if a fellow is a convicted felon he cannot legally own, or possess, a firearm no matter what the ignition system is ..... AFAIK. IMHO, even if there is a loophole there, where a black powder firearm didn't come under regulations, an individual policeman or game warden would probably arrest him and confiscate the weapon until the legalities were sorted out. What I think anyhow.

Black powder fire arms can be bought over the counter and through the mail, because of it being in the antique/curio category it is not viewed the same as modern firearms with smokeless powder. If he wore one while in the woods checking traps I doubt if any conservation agent would care any more than he normally would. Anytime there are legalities to be considered I would ask someone familiar with the law and not a bunch of guys on a razor forum.

i may make a call to the courthouse to see because it not that i dont trust you it that id rather not find out the hard way
