As a furriner, I'm not afraid to have to remind anybody here about giving advice that might aid or abet a felony.
So sue me.
If he's prohibited, should we be assisting?
I will tell ya right here, in this forum or modern muzzle loaders forum. for used anyhow. Now new I generally inter-web search for whom has the cheapest price for what I am searching for. For my used second hand I shop here, if I can not find it here or modern muzzle loaders I just do not need it. For used. Let me tell you I had my doubts at first I tried Pawn Shops, Local message message boards let us say if I wanted a blackpowder firearm real bad those places had some real bad and neglected firearms for sale cheap at double or triple the cost of what was posted here. I have gotten 4 more added to my growing need, and all of those have been $150 to $200 less than a Pawn Shop, Local Message Board and in far superior shape the last two have been practically brand new no box.
Now Black Powder for EDC? or Defensive measures. Give it to me any day of the week. Now I will tell you what most deny, or prefer not to see, or just been fed to much nonsense to see. close distance like self defense soft lead does far more damage than any copper jacket or copper plated bullet. do not get me wrong, I do not want to be shot by either, close range IF given a choice shoot me with a copper jacket they are prone to fail more times than not at ranges less than 50 Yards.
Have a brother in Indiana, served in the Marines and was wounded twice in Vietnam. He can't buy modern guns because of his PTSD. He hunts with a bow or a muzzleloader. As for self defense, he said he doesn't worry about that. Unless he has a home invasion or something like that, he has the ways and means to take care of that.
The op gave to much information for some of you . For me it is none of our business why he cant buy modern guns and seems if he was doing anything wrong he would have been arrested doing open carry and would not be wanting to buy black powder revolver to conceal . I know some may think he was arrested but he never said either way and it doesn't really matter if we don't know he is prohibited I don't see how you or I could be charged and convicted of anything
He only would have been arrested if the police 1) ran a check on him and 2) they knew the laws on prohibited persons/weapons. (Never assume the police actually know the law.) Since he's here in Maine where one doesn't need a permit to carry open or concealed, the police might have simply investigated it as an over-reaction by the caller.
Is he or she in prison or activlu on parole or probation?
If not they certainly should have 2A.
No where in the constitution does it say if you grow some hemp you lose your self defense rights?
Does not say anything so why are you other than some kind of weirdo virtue signal?

Gunbroker. I got an 1851 Pietta from there for $145, and was in extremely good condition.
State law
Some states may prohibit the possession of black powder firearms by people who are not federally prohibited. For example, in Virginia,NU,PA,CA ext. a convicted felon cannot possess a black powder firearm.
