What are the current wait times for silencer approvals?

According to Jeremy Mallette from Silencer Shop, current wait times for ATF approval of silencer applications are volatile, typically ranging from four to six months. This can vary depending on factors like which ATF agent processes the application.

Are silencers legal for hunting in the US?

Yes, silencers are legal for hunting in 42 states. However, it's essential to check specific local regulations regarding their use on public or private land, for day or night hunting, and for different types of game.

What is the Hearing Protection Act and its current status?
