Travel to EU with silencer in checked baggage [closed]

What are the rules for travel from the USA to the EU with a silencer in checked baggage?

What documents must be presented in the USA and on entering the EU?

Best Answer

I'm asuming you talk about a silencer for a "real" firearm and not an air gun or the like. As Calchas pointed out, national laws apply. Europe has no constitutional right to carry and bear arms, a permit is required for each weapon.

In Germany silencers require a permit similar to a firearms permit, which would be extremely hard to get since the law recognizes few legitimate uses. ISTR that pest control on cemeteries are one exception. (A sports shooter can have a legitimate use for a .45 or 9mm, but never for a silenced 9mm.)
