In Louisiana, which of the following is a requirement for owning a suppressor?

  1. Registration with the state

  2. Completion of a firearms safety course

  3. A special state-issued permit

  4. Federal registration and tax stamp

The correct answer is: Federal registration and tax stamp

In Louisiana, to own a suppressor, the correct requirement is federal registration and obtaining a tax stamp. Suppressors, also known as silencers, are regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA), which requires individuals to register the suppressor with the federal government and pay a tax stamp. This registration process involves submitting an application to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and undergoing a background check. Options A, B, and C are not correct for owning a suppressor in Louisiana. There is no specific requirement for registration with the state, completion of a firearms safety course, or obtaining a special state-issued permit for owning a suppressor. The key requirement is compliance with federal regulations under the NFA.
