';...Muzzle loading pistols or revolvers do not have to be registered on a pistol permit if the owner never intends to fire them.';


BUT - keep reading-





';If they are possessed in a loaded condition or are simply possessed simultaneously with the components necessary to make them fire, they must first be registered on a valid pistol permit.';
