Suppressor law
Legal
Civilian possession is legal under state law. No state carve-out is tied to federal registration.
| Statute | Wyo. Stat. § 6-8-401; Title 6 ch. 8 (all article indexes reviewed) |
| Notes | The former Wyoming Federal Firearm Protection Act language (suppressors exempt from federal regulation) is gone from current § 6-8-401 — it now reads as a state-preemption statute; either way Wyoming creates no suppressor possession offense. Verified via Justia 2025 mirrors (official wyoleg.gov statutes page returned 403 from the sandbox). |
| Hunting | Legal — W.S. § 23-3-112(c) bars suppressor use only in the commission of listed violations (unlawful taking under §§ 23-3-102/23-3-107, a § 23-3-305(b) violation resulting in the taking of a big/trophy game animal, or an out-of-season big/trophy game take); suppressor use during lawful-season, lawful-method hunting is permitted. |
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.
