[QUOTE="Weegee, post: 5003340, member: 20861"] So, there's two different rulebooks you'll have to check: The federal code, and the Tennessee code. When it comes to who is and isn't allowed to possess guns, they mostly line up in such a way that if you're in violation of one you're in violation of another. Not trying to split hairs, but I'm assuming he was [B]convicted[/B] of domestic assault, not just charged? This is straight out of the Tennessee Code Annotated 39-11-106: [B](1)[/B] “Antique firearm” means: [B](A)[/B] Any firearm, including any firearm with a matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap, or similar type of ignition system, manufactured in or before the year 1898; [B](B)[/B] Any replica of any firearm described in subdivision (a)(1)(A) if such replica: [B](i)[/B] Is not designed or redesigned for using rimfire or conventional centerfire fixed ammunition; or [B](ii)[/B] Uses rimfire or conventional centerfire fixed ammunition which is no longer manufactured in the United States and which is not readily available in the ordinary channels of commercial trade; or [B](C)[/B] Any muzzle loading rifle, muzzle loading shotgun, or muzzle loading pistol, which is designed to use black powder, or a black powder substitute, and which cannot use fixed ammunition; And it later states that an "antique firearm" isn't considered a "firearm." Doesn't appear that the type of primer you use plays a significant role in whether or not it's considered an antique firearm. [/QUOTE]
