What is Arkansas's stance on the use of suppressors (silencers) on firearms?

Illegal under all circumstances
Legal with a CHCL
Legal with proper registration under federal law
Legal only for law enforcement

The correct answer is: Legal with proper registration under federal law

Arkansas law permits the use of suppressors on firearms, provided that they are properly registered under federal law. This aligns with federal regulations which require individuals to undergo a background check and pay a one-time tax for the registration of a suppressor. Once registered, individuals can legally own and use suppressors in compliance with both state and federal laws. The other options present misunderstandings of the legal framework surrounding suppressors. The assertion that suppressors are illegal under all circumstances does not reflect the current legal status. Similarly, while a concealed handgun carry license (CHCL) may allow for certain firearm-related privileges, it does not specifically govern the legality of suppressors. Lastly, claiming that suppressors are legal only for law enforcement overlooks the legitimate ownership and use by private citizens who comply with the registration process.
