Felons and Muzzleloading Arms

[Wabatuckian]

Hello,

I know this has been covered before, and I searched.

It does not look like a consensus was ever reached. If it was, I missed it.

Can felons own black powder muzzleloading arms?

How about bows? Crossbows? Slingshots?

What's Indiana say on this?

Again, I may have missed the answer. I tried to follow several threads on this in the past, but never saw anything definitive.

Maybe, what is the felony conviction?

Is he on parole or probation?

Some felons in the state of indiana can own Longarms. From what i remember researching.

If they are prohibited from having arms, this means muzzle loaders also in this state. Muzzleloader = Firearm (explosion put a projectile out the barrel).

Longarms which are muzzleloaders.

Correct, but if you stopped reading after that sentence, you may want to finish it.

It's for an old felony drug conviction and a felony for check deception.

This happened half a lifetime ago (age 19, which is the key here I think) and asked me.

I told him that I'm thinking the answer is "no", but that I'd ask the collective to be sure.

Thank you,

Josh

Pain pills mostly, I believe.
