South Dakota Suppressors & Silencers Laws (2026)

Conditional: Legal for civilians who complete the federal NFA process.

ConditionalVerified Jul 18, 2026

Legal for civilians who complete the federal NFA process. SDCL 22-14-6 exempts anyone who has registered the weapon federally, and 2026 SB 2 removed silencers from the "controlled weapon" definition entirely. Hunting with a suppressor is permitted.
