Geez, nasty weapon.
If I was a felon and could not own firearms, I would have a black powder revolver and a crossbow for home protection.
Those cap and ball revolvers are considered “firearm accessories”, not firearms themselves, so felons are legally allowed to own them. I wonder why more don’t so they aren’t caught with a gun and go back to prison.
But then, I am not as stupid as your average felon. That is one reason I’m not a felon.
In some states felons cannot even have a black power firearm OR a bow and arrow.
