Are silencers legally permitted on firearms in South Carolina?

  1. Yes, without restrictions

  2. Yes, but only with special permission

  3. No

  4. Yes, but registration with SLED is required

The correct answer is: Yes, without restrictions

The correct answer is that silencers are legally permitted on firearms in South Carolina, but they are subject to specific regulations. Silencers are not entirely unrestricted; they must be registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) at the federal level, and there may be additional state-specific requirements to comply with. Thus, while they can be owned and used in South Carolina, claiming they are permissible "without restrictions" tends to overlook the necessary legal framework that governs their use, including registration and potential permits. Awareness of these requirements is vital for responsible firearm ownership and compliance with the law.
