It says that it is only federally legal. It goes further to say that state regulations supercede federal laws in this situation and to contact the attorney generals office for information.

After speaking with them I confirmed prohibited persons ARE allowed to own black powder muzzle loaders, see here page 2: https://www.atf.gov/resource-center/docs/0501-firearms-top-10-qaspdf/download<br /><br />My next call was to the Fort Collins Colorado Parks and Wildlife Office, who told me as long as the hunter can legally possess their weapon, they may use it to hunt.<br /><br />After speaking with the ATF, CSP, and CPW I am confident that a prohibited person may hunt with a black powder muzzle loader in CO.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02909594821738696533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321070.post-77595624155669367222019-09-24T22:00:32.565-06:002019-09-24T22:00:32.565-06:00Well i gess that answers my question felons can...Well i gess that answers my question felons can't use a black powder rifle or any thing considered a weapon to hunt Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548138418613462576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321070.post-83409001402550927702019-03-06T20:16:15.070-07:002019-03-06T20:16:15.070-07:00when I researched this question, I was concerned o...when I researched this question, I was concerned only with guns.<br /><br />Do what I did: go to Colorado Parks & Wildlife law enforcement and ask your question.Chas S.

That has NOTHING to do with hunting in Colorado, despite what some dude may have told you at a gun show.<br /><br />Don't believe that guy. Don't listen to some random cop or deputy either — they don't enforce hunting regs.<br /><br />Do what I did: go to Colorado Parks & Wildlife law enforcement and ask your question.Chas S.

You are right about the firearm law, but you are wrong about a muzzleloader made before 1889 . a inline muzzleloader is illegal because it uses a 109 cap.

Even if he comes and testifies for you. ;)<br /><br />Anyway, I quoted the law. You can believe the statute, or you can believe some random cop who might not have read it recently. Maybe what was saying could have been translated as, "I personally won't arrest you, but someone else might." <br /><br />Just a guess. Chas S.
