Are silencers legal on firearms in Montana?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only for law enforcement and military personnel

  4. Yes, but only for hunting purposes

The correct answer is: Yes

In Montana, silencers, also known as suppressors, are indeed legal for civilian ownership and use. This legality aligns with both state and federal laws, where suppressors can be possessed and used for various purposes including sport shooting and hunting. The ability to use these devices legally is significant as it can enhance the shooting experience by reducing noise, which is especially beneficial for hunting purposes where noise reduction can minimize disturbance to wildlife. The other options suggest limitations or restrictions that do not reflect the current law in Montana regarding silencers for general civilian use. The key takeaway is that in Montana, law-abiding citizens can legally purchase and use suppressors without the restrictions mentioned in the other choices.
