Just wondering

Hi. I live in South carolina and I was wondering if a felon could own a crossbow

Apparently. There's nothing in the South Carolina statutes about crossbows outside of some hunting restrictions. Federal courts have ruled that the Federal ban for felons doesn't apply to crossbows as well.

That's a strange thing to suddenly wonder about. I guess you have plenty of free time.

Yes, you can. You can also own as many pellet guns and paintball guns as you want. As long as the weapon does not involve gun powder, you're good.

Yes, SC is pretty liberal on this. There's not much restriction on non-firearms other than not carrying them concealed (not likely an issue with a crossbow) and even then large classes of things (knives, slingshots, brass knuckles) are exempted unless you intend to commit a crime with them.
