Are noise suppressors (silencers) for firearms legal in New Hampshire?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only for law enforcement and military

  4. Yes, but with special permits

The correct answer is: Yes

In New Hampshire, noise suppressors (commonly known as silencers) for firearms are legal. It is important to note that federal law strictly regulates the purchase and possession of suppressors, requiring individuals to go through an extensive background check and pay a tax. However, in the state of New Hampshire, owning and using noise suppressors for firearms is permitted without any additional restrictions or permits, making option A the correct choice. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest restrictions or limitations that do not apply in this case.
