Can i buy a black powder pistol on line and legally have it shipped to my home in washington state?

Depends on what the laws are in Washington State. In most states, however, any firearm made before 1898, or a replica thereof, is outside of the restrictions of the Gun Control Act of 1968, which means they can be freely traded via the mail, the internet, or gun shows. The year 1898 was chosen because that was the year Paul Mauser perfected the bolt action rifle that still bears his name. All modern bolt action sporting rifles are based on Mauser's 1898 design. Most states aren't concerned with black powder guns, because they don't think most Americans know how to use them in this day and age.

You can order it and have it shipped, if you are not a minor or in a restricted category, such as a convicted felon. Most reputable retailers will require that you affirm that you meet the requirements. An adult will have to sign for the package. In spite of that, a black powder pistol will be considered a firearm in almost all municipalities, and carrying it, especially concealed, requires the same licensing and restrictions as any other handgun. So be careful, as the penalties are very stiff, including manditory jail time in most areas.





When you get it, read the manual very carefully and follow the directions. Better....get advice and training from a local gun club..Can i buy a black powder pistol on line and legally have it shipped to my home in washington state?
Yes, the only place that you can order it legally is from Lake Titicaca, on the Bolivia-Peru border. But you can only order it from Bolivia. In Peru, it's not legal.
