Are silencers legal in Wyoming?

  1. Yes, without restrictions

  2. No, they are banned

  3. Yes, but only for hunting

  4. Yes, but registration with the federal government is required

The correct answer is: Yes, but registration with the federal government is required

Silencers, also known as suppressors, are legal in Wyoming but they are regulated by federal law. The correct answer is D because although silencers are legal to possess in Wyoming, individuals are required to register them with the federal government under the National Firearms Act (NFA). This registration process involves paying a tax and submitting to a thorough background check conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Option A is incorrect because while silencers are legal in Wyoming, they are not without any restrictions. Option B is also incorrect as silencers are not banned in Wyoming. Option C is not entirely accurate as silencers are not limited to just hunting purposes but can be used for other lawful purposes as well.
