Suppressor law
Legal
Civilian possession is legal under state law. No state carve-out is tied to federal registration.
| Statute | n/a (Ala. Code 13A-11-60 through 13A-11-64 contain no silencer offense) |
| Notes | Gap (4) resolved: neither 13A-11-63 (short-barreled rifles/shotguns 'in violation of federal law') nor 13A-11-64 (altered serial numbers) is an operative silencer provision - neither mentions silencers. 13A-11-62 is definitions only. No federal-law-compliance clause is needed for silencers because no state offense exists; the 2026 federal regime ($0 NFA tax, ATF Oct 9 2026 non-enforcement guidance) faces no state-law obstacle. |
| Hunting | Legal - DCNR/Conservation Advisory Board lifted the suppressor ban in 2014; admin rule 220-2-.02 does not prohibit silencers. |
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.
