Do You Need A License To Buy A Suppressor

Shopping Suppressors: No License Required

Suppressors are classified as NFA items, requiring additional paperwork and a tax stamp to purchase. However, you do not need an FFL / SOT or a Class 3 license to own a suppressor.

In fact, you can buy a suppressor as long as you meet the following criteria:

  • You must be 21 years or older
  • You must not be a prohibited possessor
  • You must live in a state that allows suppressor ownership

Pretty simple, right? As long as you are of the proper age and are not a convicted felon, you are eligible to purchase a suppressor at the federal level.

Certain states may impose additional restrictions, so we always recommend contacting your local FFL or state law enforcement agency for clarification on the laws where you live.
