Are silencers/suppressors legal to own and use on firearms in Kansas?

Yes, with a special permit
No
Yes, without any special requirements
Yes, but only for hunting

The correct answer is: Yes, without any special requirements

In Kansas, the ownership and use of silencers or suppressors for firearms are indeed legal without any special requirements. This means that residents can purchase and use these devices without needing to apply for a separate permit at the state level. The federal regulations concerning the ownership of suppressors, which require registration with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and compliance with the National Firearms Act (NFA), still apply. However, Kansas law is relatively permissive regarding in-state ownership, allowing individuals to have these devices for recreational shooting and other lawful purposes without additional state-imposed limitations. Other options suggest various levels of restrictions or requirements that do not align with the current Kansas laws. For instance, some options imply that special permits are needed or that usage is restricted solely to hunting, which does not accurately reflect the broader legality of suppressors in non-hunting contexts in the state. Therefore, the statement that suppressors can be owned and used without any special requirements accurately captures the legal landscape regarding suppressors in Kansas.
