Legality of Silencers[/align]
Silencers are legal under federal law but since 1934 you must pay a $200 tax to purchase and submit to an FBI background check. Fingerprints and photos must be provided and a long wait of several months occurs before the paperwork is approved. There is no 'license' needed to own a silencer.
State law is a different matter. The following states allow ownership of silencers:
AL, AR, AK, AZ, CO, CT, FL, GA, ID, IN, KY, LA, ME, MD, MS, MT, NE, ND, NV, NH, NM, NC, OH, OK, OR, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA, WV, WI, and
WY. Of the sixteen states which do not allow civilian ownership,
CA, IA, KS, MA, MO, and
MI allow Class-3 dealers and Class-2 manufacturers to own silencers."
