Ok, so I've never owned, and therefore know very little about muzzle loaders. From what little I've been able to figure out, they are, at times, legally differentiated from other firearms (often by simply NOT being mentioned). I'm currently under the impression that muzzle loaders are NOT restricted items, and can therefore be purchased and owned by those who cannot necessarily own other types of firearms (i.e. convicted felons). Does anyone have any informative and definitive answers to where and when muzzle loaders differ from "normal" firearms?
