Is it legal to own a firearm silencer?

Under federal law, it has never been illegal to own a firearm silencer. If it is legal for you to buy a handgun, and you live in a state that allows ownership (South Carolina does), then it is probably legal for you to own a silencer. The basic requirements are as follows:

• You must be at least 21 years old
• You must live in a state that allows ownership
• You must not have any felony convictions

Do I need a special license to own a firearm silencer?

No! There are some rumors that you need to have a “Class 3” License to own a firearm silencer in Columbia, SC, but this simply isn’t true. You do have to pay for a “tax stamp” when you first buy the silencer- but no ongoing fees or licenses are required. This tax is similar to paying sales tax on a purchase, except that it goes to the federal government instead of the state government.

How to get your first firearm silencer with Decker’s Jewelry and Pawn

Once you’re on the silencer shop website, you can choose your firearm silencer. Add the silencer to your cart and include a tax stamp. You’ll select the way you’d like to register: Individual, Trust, or Corporation. We will be with you every step of the way and will be glad to answer any questions you might have. Please note, the Single Shot Trust is the most common, low-cost, and versatile trust.
2. Create a silencer shop profile: In 5 minutes you can enter basic info like your name and address and demographic information. This information will be integrated into your Silencer Shop profile. This information will be saved for future purchases. At this point we will provide 2 sets of fingerprint cards that need to be completed and returned to us so we can add them to your profile. After you do this, you will never need to repeat the process, as this will be attached to your account.
