You too can use a silencer for hunting purposes or for hearing protection reasons if you live in one of the 42 states that are shown in red above.

You will need to fill out the ATF Form 4 and the Responsible Person's Questionnaire for any active member in your gun trust, this typically is the settlor and any co-trustee. You can the ATF Form 4 walk-through guide here.
