Are silencers legal on firearms in Alabama?

  1. Yes, without restrictions

  2. No, they are illegal

  3. Yes, but they require a federal permit

  4. Yes, but only for law enforcement and military

The correct answer is: Yes, but they require a federal permit

In Alabama, silencers, also known as suppressors, are legal but they require a federal permit to possess. This is because suppressors are regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA), which mandates individuals to obtain a permit from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) before acquiring a suppressor. This requirement ensures that individuals undergo background checks and adhere to strict regulations when owning such devices. Therefore, option C is correct.
