can a felon hunt with a black powder rifle?

[knight0334]

The guy I am referring to was involved with theft. No violence or PFAs were involved. He was placed on probation and told he could not possess firearms but now that he is off probation it sounds like he would be able to again.

Its possible so long as the offense isn't one of the enumerated prohibiting offenses in the UFA under § 6105, the max sentence was 2 years or less that could have been levied, or wasn't a felony.

Any M1 conviction or higher will prohibit him from the git-go because the max sentence exceeds 2 years.

We'd really need to know the actual offense he was convicted of and the level of crime(IE: M3, M2, M1, F3, etc).

If he is prohibited from owning or possessing normal guns, he is also prohibited from possessing a muzzleloader.
