If you're going to quote a statute, be sure to read the whole thing, and actually quote EVERYTHING related to the question.numist wrote:I believe Texas law frowns upon silencers;
§ 46.05. PROHIBITED WEAPONS. (a) A person commits an
offense if he intentionally or knowingly possesses, manufactures,
transports, repairs, or sells:
(1) an explosive weapon;
(2) a machine gun;
(3) a short-barrel firearm;
(4) a firearm silencer;
(5) a switchblade knife;
(6) knuckles;
(7) armor-piercing ammunition;
(8) a chemical dispensing device; or
(9) a zip gun.
You missed this:
So yes, pay your tax stamp, buy it at a class III dealer, and you're good to go.(c) It is a defense to prosecution under this section that
the actor's possession was pursuant to registration pursuant to the
National Firearms Act, as amended.
I also would not recommend one for HD, however, for the reasons stated above ;)
