The Florida Supreme Court just held that convicted felons may possess “antique firearms,” or replicas thereof, under Florida State law. Specifically, a convicted felon may possess a percussion cap black powder rifle, regardless of whether or not it also has a scope that was not available before 1918. The opinion is available here:

There are/were a couple of old threads asking about this specific issue:

Indeed, I would not be surprised if the Defendant, Mr. Weeks was here seeking advice given the factual similarities.
Mr. Weeks if you are member, Congratulations on your victory!
For any Florida voters reading this, I will also note that all 3 Florida Supreme Court Justices up for retention election this year supported the RTKBA in this case: Canady, Polston & Labarga.
