Are black powder guns consitered real ?

do u need a permit to buy black powder gunsAre black powder guns consitered real ?
Yes, definitely real. Permit:it depends entirely on what state or city you live inAre black powder guns consitered real ?
Up until the Civil War, they were real enough. Cap and ball or muzzle loaders have killed many people and game so real they are.





They don't fall under all the regulations of modern guns and generally you can walk in a store and buy one and take it home. Black powder arms can run the gamut from cheap pieces of junk to high quality Colts ( they started remaking their old guns and started at the old serial numbers and they truly are real brand new Colt pistols)





As far as a permit for black powder, you generally don't need one but finding a place that sells it is getting tough. I buy mine from( powderinc.com). You have to buy 5 pounds at a time and it will cost you around a hundred dollars but you can mix and match grain sizes. They require a copy of your drivers license and they may have an age restriction, say 18 and over but I cant recall. They require someone to be at the shipping address to receive it and that person has to be of age.





Learn all you can about black powder arms if you don't already have some experience with it. It can be very dangerous and you have to clean the gun very well to keep it from rusting.





Good luck.
in most states a flint lock black powder gun is considered an antique even if brand new, most of these guns don't pose a serious threat, so they don't need to be regulated like other guns. the reason is that they are so clumsy and time consuming to load that the authorities don't need to worry for someone to rush out and shoot at them with a black powder flint lock, because the person could never reload the weapon fast enough to take a second shot without being shot and nobody in north america to my knowledge has been purposely killed with these weapons since the late 1800's
They are firearms but if manufactured prior to 1910 (if memory serves me) are considered antique and not regulated as firearms.





As far as a permit is concerned THAT depends on what State of the Union you live in. In Texas no special permit is required. After the new administration takes office... Who knows...





H



Under federal law and most state laws black powder muzzle loaders and cap and ball pistols and revolvers along with guns made before 1898 are not considered firearms under the gun laws


They are still considered deadly weapons if misused





No permit is necessary and they can be shipped USPS
Yes, Patrick, blackpowder guns are real. I have no idea of whether or not you need a permit to buy one because I have no idea where you live. Go to your local sporting goods store and ask them if you need a permit. They will be able to tell you.
Of course they are real guns.





As to a permit, I don't know. It might depend on where you are, but I never had any trouble buying them wherever lived.





They fall under a different category than ';modern'; firearms.
To my knowledge anyone can buy a black powder rifle or pistol. You could order one tonight from Cabella's and have it delivered by Tuesday if you wanted.






Not in NC. That includes cap and ball revolvers. But you may need to be 21 to buy the revolvers.
Blackpowder handguns are regulated in a few places in the states.
black powder is a non-primative weapon so you do not need a permit to buy 1
* Yes *
Not in Delaware.
It depends on your local laws.
