Hey everyone, sorry if this has been brought up before, but i couldnt quite find a solid answer to this anywhere so i figured maybe yall could help me out.
I was reading a thread about quiet calibers for shooting in the early AM hours when i ran across a few posts in the thread that surprised me. They claimed that as long as you are legal to purchase a handgun from an FFL, you can own a supressor...I live in northern Indiana and was always told that i could NOT own a supressor. I am not as knowledgeble on the whole supressor subject as many others...I dont even know if there is a difference between a silencer and a supressor. I would love to get one simply because I shoot on my own property but do live within 1/2 mile radius of some gun-ignorant people as i like to call them(they arent very tollerent of my shooting and have called the police on me for shooting my mosin "excessivly" before ) and i would like to be able to shoot as much as i would like without having to worry about having the cops called on me! So could someone please clarify the legality on silencers/supressors or give me a link to a website that would educate me on what I must do to legally aquire and own one?
Thanks a ton!
