Legally, black powder muzzleloaders are NOT firearms.
Sure you only have 2 shots, but they are shotgun blasts or a gawdawful 58 caliber heavy lead bullet in wadding. Either one is going to suck to be on the business end of.

Circuit Court Judge Jeff Harris this week ruled against University of Missouri law professor Royce Barondes, who challenged the school’s rule prohibiting concealed guns on campus — even if they’re locked in a personal car. {snip}
Barondes, who has worked at MU since 2002 and teaches a course on firearms law, sued the university in 2015, challenging its gun prohibition. He sought no monetary payment. {snip} But Wednesday’s ruling only represents a partial victory for the university.

Come on all those killers had rough childhoods, and according to Pelosi they are just human beings, and must not be shot by some professor carrying a concealed gun. That would be depriving the crazy gunman of his civil rights. He is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law!! /S/S/S/S
Works for me!

Well, maybe fedlaw says that, but most or many states DO classify muzzleloaders or cap and ball gun as firearms. That is why the issue is now whether the UoM policy violates the 2A
Section 23. That the right of every citizen to keep and bear arms, ammunition, and accessories typical to the normal function of such arms, in defense of his home, person, family and property, or when lawfully summoned in aid of the civil power, shall not be questioned. The rights guaranteed by this section shall be unalienable. Any restriction on these rights shall be subject to strict scrutiny and the state of Missouri shall be obligated to uphold these rights and shall under no circumstances decline to protect against their infringement. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent the general assembly from enacting general laws which limit the rights of convicted violent felons or those adjudicated by a court to be a danger to self or others as result of a mental disorder or mental infirmity.
