Are silencers legal on firearms in Tennessee?

  1. Yes, for all firearms

  2. No, for all firearms

  3. Yes, but only for hunting

  4. Yes, if registered with the federal government

The correct answer is: Yes, if registered with the federal government

According to Tennessee law, it is legal to own and use a silencer on a firearm as long as it is properly registered with the federal government. This option may be confusing as the other choices directly state that silencers are illegal, but it is important to note that without proper registration, they are indeed illegal. Additionally, while silencers are not restricted to solely being used for hunting, there are certain restrictions and regulations that must be followed for their ownership and usage in Tennessee. Therefore, options A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the legal ownership and usage of silencers in Tennessee.
