Are silencers permitted on firearms in Delaware?

  1. Yes, without restrictions

  2. No, they are banned

  3. Yes, but only for law enforcement

  4. Yes, with proper licensing

The correct answer is: No, they are banned

In Delaware, the law explicitly states that silencers, also known as suppressors, are illegal. This prohibition means that individuals cannot possess or use these devices on firearms within the state. The law aims to ensure that all firearms remain audible when fired, which is considered important for public safety and law enforcement. The other choices suggest scenarios where silencers could be used or permitted, but those scenarios do not align with Delaware's strict regulations against silencers. The outright ban ensures clarity in the law and emphasizes the importance of responsible firearm ownership and public awareness when it comes to noise generated by gunfire.
