Congrats.
I hope you are not afraid to ask this question to a criminal lawyer.
It still amazes me why people ask such questions on public forums, where instead of single, proper and clear answer… you usually get dozen options.

From our State Laws, looks like you’d better be very careful with the definition of “a dangerous weapon”.
| (2) | A Category I restricted person who intentionally or knowingly agrees, consents, offers, or arranges to purchase, transfer, possess, use, or have under the person’s custody or control, or who intentionally or knowingly purchases, transfers, possesses, uses, or has under the person’s custody or control: |
|---|---|
| (a) | a firearm is guilty of a second degree felony; or |
| (b) | a dangerous weapon other than a firearm is guilty of a third degree felony. |

As a felon, not sure what you can “carry” nor how you can “carry” it. Not sure that you can “carry” any kind of weapon at all. Check the laws in your state and talk to a good attorney. Some of it may depend on the conditions of your sentencing.
But if I could not have firearms, I would definitely use black powder guns and airguns.
Good news for non-violent felons may come soon enough, as one recent court case has allowed a non-violent felon to purchase and carry a firearm.
We’ll see how that pans out.
Meantime there are a few options out there for you. But, as always, check your laws and do the right thing – before you do it – and avoid more problems.
Another good place to explore is “Bone Tactical”. This guy is a felon and has his own tactical weapons company. He carries black powder in his vehicles and in his home when he’s in the US. He’s got some great tips for keeping felons armed and dangerous.

Mike 164. Be careful is an under statement. I think it’s sad when people make a mistake and pay for it and . No matter what they do . They can Lose their Rights to carry and to even have a Firearm in their home . I know that would truly be terrible to get convicted of a felony I would spend every thing I had to prove my innocence. I would never plead bargain the game warden asked a bunch of Bikers why they all had big knives they said . We had all been to Prison. I have not checked but Texas has not been throwing felons in jail for knives i do know even if you have a BB gun you will go to jail if you’re a felon in Texas . Thank goodness for the arts. Nice to be back Brother Love Bobby jean and Debbie ann .

Jerzees sir i just checked an if you are a Felon in Texas. You can not be in the same Home with a person who has a firearm unless they can keep it Locked away . So the felon in the home does not have access to it their gun or guns . or the person who has the firearms can be arrested and the felon living in the Home . That can even make it to where you can’t buy a firearm if you live with a felon . Any one should Definitely check with an attorney before . Putting down on the paperwork in order to buy a firearm . They might not even sell it . To the person for saying this they have a felon Living with them . This was not the place to ask that question because the ATF. Might come visit . Because we have ATF. Member or visitors in our community. Stay sharp Love Bobby Jean and Debbie ann Sir
