(1) Section 2 does not apply to any of the following:
(h) Purchasing, owning, carrying, possessing, using, or transporting an antique firearm. As used in this subdivision,
"antique firearm" means that term as defined in section 231a of the Michigan penal code, 1931 PA 328, MCL 750.231a.
MCL 750.231a says:
(2) As used in this section, "antique firearm" means either of the following:
(i) A firearm not designed or redesigned for using rimfire or conventional center fire ignition with fixed ammunition and manufactured in or before 1898, including a matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap, or similar type of ignition system or replica of such a firearm, whether actually manufactured before or after 1898.
That says black powder is exempted to me.
But I have to admit it is hard to track the 24 pages and anything else tie-barred to SB 76'23 (like SB 77, 78 etc).
