Suppressor law
Legal
Civilian possession is legal under state law. No state carve-out is tied to federal registration.
| Statute | n/a (Fla. Stat. ch. 790 contains no silencer provision; 790.221 covers short-barreled rifles/shotguns and machine guns only) |
| Notes | Correction to prior-run note: 790.221 bans SBRs/SBSs/machine guns - not silencers; a grep of the saved ch. 790 extract finds no silencer provision. Federal-law-compliant possession is lawful; 2026 federal changes create no state-law conflict. |
| Hunting | Legal - FWC rules do not prohibit suppressor use while hunting. |
Federal context: suppressor tax $0 since Jan 1, 2026 (OBBBA); ATF stopped enforcing NFA approval/registration Oct 9, 2026. State law is unchanged and independently controls.
