Regardless of whatever the law is in Alabama - it is a violation of FEDERAL law for a felon to possess a black powder firearm. It is treated the same as any other firearm under the US Code.

Under US Code, Title 18, Black Powder weapons are not classified as "firearms" but rather as "antique firearms" (under most conditions) and are regulated very differently, for instance not requiring background checks or registration.

In Alabama, being convicted of a violent crime automatically disqualifies one from owning a firearm, as does being "a drug addict". Whether a felony drug conviction fulfills either of these criteria is beyond the scope of this website to authoritatively tell you.

Depends on what the felony was- state or Federal, and the nature of the crime. In any event, you are going to need an attorney licensed in Alabama for the legal filings. This is not a quick nor a cheap process.
