Under Wisconsin Statute 941.298, the sale, use, or possession of a firearm silencer is a Class H felony. This is punishable by fines of up to $10,000, prison terms of up to 6 years, or both imprisonment and a fine.
Our criminal defense attorneys have negotiated multiple felonies down to misdemeanors, non-criminal tickets and outright dismissal of charges. Through negotiation or jury trial, our Wisconsin criminal defense attorneys faithfully represent your interests to the fullest extent possible under the law. Grieve Law LLC has the firearm, criminal defense, drug and DUI attorneys that Wisconsin trusts for powerful results. When OWI penalties and possession of a firearm are combined, the consequences can be serious.
Grieve Law is not a general practitioner law firm. Criminal defense is practically everything the firm does. Staffed by criminal defense attorneys who are former prosecutors, our firm understands both the letter of the law and how things tend to play out in practice.

The statute defines a “firearm silencer” as any device for silencing, muffling or diminishing the report of a portable firearm, as well as any combination of parts designed, redesigned, or intended for use in making such a device, and any part intended only for use in the making of a silencer.
Anyone possessing, selling or delivering a silencer in Wisconsin is guilty of a Class H felony, unless you are police officer, member of the armed forces or national guard, and have possession of the silencer in the line of duty or in compliance with written policies; or if you have complied with the licensing and registration requirements under 26 USC 5801 to 5872.
