Of course they can carry one, that does not mean they are allowed to do so.
In New York State, black powder pistols are considered firearms and require a permit to possess and carry, just like other firearms. The process for obtaining a permit for a black powder pistol is similar to that for other firearms.
Answer I would recommend you check with you local State laws. Years and years ago, I was licensed to carry a firearm in the State of Massachusetts. At that time, they told me the license was to carry the ammo and NOT the gun. But the law may have changed since then.
If you have a handgun carry permit, definitely. The handgun carry permit covers "any handgun that you legally own or posses."
The questions is not "Black Powder", More it is a question of the definitions of a firearm and of a pistol. CT law would consider a black powder pistol a firearm because it can fire a projectile and the barrel length would also fall under the definition of a pistol. Below is a decision made in CT from the law library. "Replica antique pistol, which fired a .44 caliber ball propelled by a black powder charge, instead of a bullet from a fixed cartridge, constituted a weapon under section; defendant's claim of implicit "antique gun exception" to prohibitions of section rejected. 49 CS 248."

No. A flare gun is classfied as a firearm because it uses gunpowder and shoots a projectile. Federal law prohibits the use of firearms by felons. Therefore a flare gun would not be able to be posessed by a felon.
I wouldn't try that. Get a permit.
In most states the carry laws are the same for black powder as any other weapon. The NRA-ILA website has an extensive data base that may help for your area, or the local law enforcement officials are a good place to inquire.
