Can a person convicted of domestic violence own a black powder gun for hunting?

a friend of mine who lives in Ohio has domestic violence on his record here. He would like to hunt pheasant with me in SD this year.. but can't own a firearm. Is he able to use one for hunting.. or use or own a black powder shotgun? A link to the law itself would be great. Thanks!Can a person convicted of domestic violence own a black powder gun for hunting?

.Can a person convicted of domestic violence own a black powder gun for hunting?
Sorry, NO*...
No it is considered a fire arm and you can not have one with a DV charge on you. Not even barrow.
Black powder weapons are defined on a state by state basis. Check your state firearm regulations to see if black powder is considered a firearm. I.E. indiana black powder is not considered a firearm but is in Illinois.
If he touches a firearm (as defined in Federal law), he has committed a Federal felony. There is a process for acquiring what is called a Relief of Civil Disability that he can look into. That would remove the restriction.
if he is convicted he cant have any guns even for hunting. but everystate is dif. he needs to talk to his probation officer and see. if he doesnt have one most likey he can have one. but he needs to find out so he doesnt get into trouble
That is a toughie, and I don't believe any of us, including the policeman know for sure.





As someone said, some states consider blackpowder arms to be firearms, and others don't. The Yankee Government plainly says that anything using loose powder and ball with separate priming for ammunition is not a firearm.





I suggest your friend visit the Federal Attorney's office in his district and ask for a written opinion.





I wish him luck.





Doc
Yes, I can own one and I'm only 16 (but i'm in CA and never commited a felony, so not sure!), there's really no restrictions on them whatsoever! (yet)!


I don't know much about shotguns, though so I'm not sure if these are reasonably priced or not, although almost everything I've bought from them has not dissapointed me!

Hope I helped!
No way! He can't even be near a firearm. If it's in your vehicle and you're giving him a ride to the store he can go to jail because he is in the presence of a fire arm. Not even a bow and arrow.
