Are silencers legal in Tennessee?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only for hunting

  4. Only for law enforcement

The correct answer is: Yes

Silencers, also known as suppressors, are legal in Tennessee. This legality aligns with both state law and federal law, provided that individuals comply with the necessary registration and regulations set forth by the National Firearms Act. Owners must have the suppressor registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and they must pay the required tax stamp fee. The other options incorrectly represent the legal status of silencers in Tennessee. While there may be specific regulations regarding their use, particularly in hunting or law enforcement contexts, those limitations do not extend to a blanket prohibition on civilian ownership. Thus, the correct answer acknowledges their legality in the state.
