Are silencers legal in Wyoming?

Yes, without restrictions
No, they are banned
Yes, but only for hunting
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.
