Gun suppressors, also known as silencers, are devices that screw onto the barrel of a gun and reduce the noise it makes. They work by trapping the expanding gasses that are released when the gun is fired and slowing them down. This causes the gas pressure to drop below the level required to create a loud sound.
To install a gun suppressor, you first need to obtain a copy of your state’s firearm owner’s identification card or a concealed carry permit. You then need to fill out an application form and send it along with a $200 check or money order (for each suppressor you want to buy) to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE). Once your application has been approved, you will be able to purchase the suppressor from a licensed dealer.
There are a few things to keep in mind before purchasing a gun suppressor. First, they are only legal in certain states. Second, they can only be used on firearms that are registered with the BATFE. Finally, you will need to obtain a tax stamp from the BATFE for each suppressor you purchase.
