What is the legal status of suppressors (silencers) in Louisiana?

Illegal to own or use
Legal with a federal permit
Legal without any permit
Legal, but not for hunting

The correct answer is: Legal with a federal permit

Suppressors, also known as silencers, are legal to own and use in Louisiana with a federal permit. This means that while owning and using a suppressor is not prohibited by law, it is necessary to obtain a federal permit before doing so. Options A and C are incorrect because they assert that suppressors are either completely illegal or completely legal without any permit, neither of which is the case. Option D is also incorrect because it suggests that suppressors are only legal for certain activities, when in fact they are legal for general ownership and use with a proper permit.
