I live in Michigan, and I have a felony from 17 years ago. I recently had my state rights restored, which allows me to own/possess muzzleloader, black powder, and high velocity BB. I also found on the ATF website where it states (paraphrasing) BP is not considered a firearm. (Michigan also views BP as NOT a firearm.
So am I understanding correctly that I may own a BP revolver, black powder, and round ball to recreationally shoot? I know for some it may be a no brainer question but I have worked very hard the past 17 years to stay on the straight and narrow, I'm also married with a young son so i don't want to get in any trouble again for possibly misreading something.
I've been looking at the 1858 Pietta Army (steel not brass) for shooting only recreational, and only using traditional loose powder, cap and ball. I would love to teach my young son and wife how to shoot and feel comfortable around them.
