Are silencers (suppressors) legal in Arkansas?

  1. Yes, but only for law enforcement

  2. Yes, for all individuals

  3. No

  4. Yes, but registration with the state is required

The correct answer is: Yes, for all individuals

In Arkansas, silencers (also known as suppressors) are legal for purchase and use by all individuals, as long as the individual meets the federal requirements for owning a Class 3 National Firearms Act (NFA) item. This means that the individual must be 21 years of age or older, a resident of the state, and undergo a thorough background check and approval process from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Option A is incorrect because silencers are not restricted to only law enforcement in Arkansas. Option C is incorrect because silencers are legal in the state. Option D is incorrect because while registration with the state is not required, registration and approval from the ATF is necessary. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
