[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 1914744, member: 13624"] I'm inclined to think not, at least in Oklahoma. Federal law excludes from the definition of "firearm" any device not firing fixed (i.e. cartridge) ammunition for the purpose of the felon proscription. Oklahoma, in §21-1289.4, defines rifle thus: Note that there's nothing in there about "firing fixed ammunition" that would distinguish a muzzleloader from a modern rifle; the definition says "using...gunpowder," which would include muzzleloaders. Trouble is, the prohibition on felons carrying firearms is in section 1283, so this definition doesn't strictly apply. I don't have time to do the research right now, but I'll look into it more this evening. I expect I'll find Oklahoma more restrictive on this point than the Feds, though. [/QUOTE]
