    Yep^.

    Antique guns are treated as "firearms" if they meet the physical dimensions of a "firearm" when carrying them concealed or in a vehicle.

    Here is the law on the subject.

    Yes you can carry it concealed, and you must follow the laws that apply to a modern handgun (LTCF, etc.). Unless you're an exceptionally fine shot and implicitly trust this firearm, I suggest that you consider a "New York reload."

    I'm just curious, but why carry a black powder revolver?
    loose≠lose; you're=you are; 'your' shows possession.

    Just remember, static electricity can ignite black powder, just sayin...

    Edit: I will throw my caveat in here that not everyone agrees on my above statement.
