Are silencers legal on firearms in Indiana?

  1. Yes, with special permission

  2. No, they are banned

  3. Yes, for all firearms

  4. Yes, but only for hunting

The correct answer is: Yes, for all firearms

In Indiana, silencers, or suppressors, are legal for use on firearms. The law permits individuals to possess and use suppressors as long as they comply with federal regulations, which involve registering the suppressor with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and paying the appropriate tax. This legality applies to all types of firearms, so their use is not restricted to specific situations like hunting. Thus, the correct answer reflects that anyone may own and utilize a suppressor legally in Indiana without special permission, provided they follow the necessary federal guidelines. The other options imply restrictions or incorrect conditions regarding the legality of silencers in the state. For instance, stating they require special permission or are only for hunting does not align with Indiana’s laws, which recognize silencers as legal accessories for firearms across various contexts.
