South Carolina Suppressors & Silencers Laws (2026)

Conditional: Suppressors are legal to own in South Carolina once they are registered under the federal National Firearms Act (NFA).

ConditionalVerified Jul 18, 2026

Suppressors are legal to own in South Carolina once they are registered under the federal National Firearms Act (NFA). South Carolina's prohibited-weapons law (Title 16, Chapter 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.
