Suppressor law
Legal
Civilian possession is legal under state law. No state carve-out is tied to federal registration.
| Statute | n/a (Idaho Code title 18, ch. 33 contains no silencer possession ban) |
| Notes | Gap (3) resolved from the saved title 18 ch. 33 text: no possession ban anywhere in the chapter - 18-3301 is possession-with-intent-to-assault, 18-3302 et seq. regulate concealed carry; the chapter's only 'firearm silencer' reference (18-3302H(2)(a)(ii)) merely excludes silencers from the 'firearm' definition used for retired-LEO carry licenses. Idaho AG (2026): after Silencer Shop Foundation v. ATF and the ATF guidance, Idahoans can buy suppressors without registration, waits, or taxes - no state-law obstacle. |
| Hunting | Legal - Idaho permits 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.
