Are silencers for firearms legal in Idaho?

  1. Yes, but only for hunting

  2. No, they are prohibited

  3. Yes, for all legal purposes

  4. No, unless you are law enforcement

The correct answer is: Yes, for all legal purposes

In Idaho, silencers, also known as suppressors, are legal for all legal purposes, making the chosen answer valid. This reflects the state's attitude towards firearm accessories, enabling lawful gun owners to use these devices for a variety of activities, including target shooting and hunting. Under federal law, suppressors are regulated but legal, provided individuals comply with the necessary registration and payment of a tax stamp. Idaho law aligns with federal regulations, allowing their use more broadly than merely limiting them to specific activities like hunting. This accessibility emphasizes Idaho's permissive stance on firearms and accessories, supporting the rights of responsible gun owners to use silencers under the right circumstances. The other options suggest various restrictive conditions or outright prohibitions that do not reflect the legal status of silencers in Idaho, which is why they do not align with the current laws in the state.
