South Carolina Suppressors & Silencers Laws (2026)

Conditional: Legal to own with federal NFA registration.

ConditionalVerified Jul 18, 2026

Legal to own with federal NFA registration. South Carolina''s prohibited-weapons law (Title 16, Ch. 23) never lists silencers, so ownership is lawful once the federal process is complete. SCDNR imposes no suppressor restriction, so hunting with one is legal.
