Thumbnail image for 50calsilencer.jpgWhile in some states, it is illegal to hunt with a Silencer, in the following states it is legal to hunt with a suppressor (often referred to as a “silencer”).

In states where hunting with suppressors have been legalized, we have seen substantial increases in the sales of suppressors and the wait times for approval from the ATF have also increased. Many states that have legalized suppressors still have CLEOs who refuse to sign for individuals to purchase them. An NFA Gun Trust or a more flexible Gun trust can not only avoid the CLEO signature requirement in most states, but can also provide many benefits to firearms owners and their families. To learn about the benefits, please fill out the contact us form at the top of this page and request information on what a gun trust is and how they may benefit you.

Remember these laws change frequently, so please verify this with your state prior to hunting with a suppressor.

While the Bill would legalize hunting with silencers, the bill also includes stiffer penalties for poaching while using a silencer. Most legislation regarding silencers has been based on anti-poaching concepts. The NRA and the American Silencer Association have done a good job at helping to pass similar bills in other states over the past few years. Anyone who has used a silencer knows that a suppressor is a better name and that unlike they are shown in the movies, a suppressor does not make a firearm silent.

The modern trend is to make silencers legal to use while hunting.
