Which of the following is true about the use of suppressors (silencers) on firearms in Tennessee?

  1. Entirely prohibited

  2. Allowed for law enforcement only

  3. Allowed for all with proper federal licensing

  4. Allowed without any specific regulations

The correct answer is: Allowed for all with proper federal licensing

Suppressors, also known as silencers, are attachments that reduce the noise and muzzle flash produced by a firearm when fired. In the state of Tennessee, the use of suppressors is allowed for all individuals as long as they have proper federal licensing. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect. Option A states that the use of suppressors is entirely prohibited, which is not true. Option B states that suppressors are only allowed for law enforcement, which is also not true. Option D states that suppressors are allowed without any specific regulations, which is not completely accurate since federal licensing is still required.
