Relating to the definition of firearm

HB 5344 clarifies West Virginia's definition of "antique firearm" in state law. It specifies that antique firearms include pre-1898 weapons (like flintlocks), replicas of those weapons (if not designed for modern ammunition), and muzzle-loading guns using black powder. The bill explicitly excludes weapons with modern frames/receivers, converted muzzle-loaders, or those easily adaptable to fire standard ammunition. This definition affects how antique firearms are regulated under West Virginia law, particularly regarding possession and sale restrictions that typically apply to modern firearms.
