I wonder how the State lifting the requirements on silencers is affected by the Federal requirement??
TN is a great State for firearm owners. A breath of fresh air after having lived in the NY/NJ area for a considerable amount of time.
One of the main reasons I moved back here 15 years ago !!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks !!!
