Hello everyone my name is Ted and I'm new to this website
I was wanting to ask if it is legal for a person who has a felony in his past to own or possess a Muzzleloader pistol or rifle in the state of Idaho?
Thank you for your adviceFirst it's always a VERY POOR idea to seek any kind of legal advice in a public forum. Anyone here can say anything. Often the person giving advice my even "think" what they are telling you is 100% accurate. Problem is it may not be. So if you run afoul of some law telling the judge you head it on the net, well you know how well that will work.
From what I know of this. I did not stay in a Holiday Inn last night and am NOT a lawyer. I know there is both state and federal laws on firearms. As for the feds it's GCA 68 that decided someone convicted of a felony was no longer eligible to enjoy the 2nd amendment. Later feds added misdemeanor convictions for domestic violence. In most states you can buy muzzle loaders and reproduction handguns by mail so there is no check. The way the GCA 68 was worded exempted them. Probably not by intent. Now states have their own laws and states all or at least many, do not define "firearm" the same way. So these guns are considered guns in many if not all states. So you would need to find out from someone who really knows the laws in ID what they say about you and your situation.

Thanks for the advice on the net thing. I guess I will have to contact a lawyer on this issue. I read some Idaho stuff, but had a problem understanding it. The law just can't explain things in plain English thank you all

Thank youAnd cheap irresponsible lawyer advice is still worthless against an uninformed narrow minded officer with the intent to do you injustice. I would have whoever gives advice be willing to defend you in court free of charge based on their interpetition of the LAW. LOST OF LUCK ON THIS ONE!!!!!!!
ThankWelcome to the Forum.
