Are silencers on firearms legal in Indiana?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only for hunting purposes

  4. Only for law enforcement and military personnel

The correct answer is: Yes

Silencers on firearms are legal in Indiana (Choice A). In Indiana, individuals are allowed to own and use silencers without specific restrictions. It is important to note that federal laws still apply regarding the purchase and ownership of silencers. The National Firearms Act (NFA) regulates the sale and possession of silencers, requiring individuals to go through a thorough background check, pay a tax, and obtain approval from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) before acquiring a silencer. Option B is incorrect because silencers are indeed legal in Indiana. Option C is incorrect because silencers are not limited to only hunting purposes in the state. Option D is incorrect because silencers are not exclusively reserved for law enforcement and military personnel in Indiana.
