Suppressor law
Legal
Civilian possession is legal under state law. No state carve-out is tied to federal registration.
| Statute | MCL 750.224(1)(b) and (3)(c); Mich. AG Op. No. 7260 (2011) |
| Notes | Checked for post-2024 changes: MCL 750.224 text current through PA 103 of 2026 (no NFA-keyed amendment); 2026 PA 7 and HB 5745 do not alter suppressor possession; no 2025-2026 Michigan AG opinion on suppressors located. Interpretive gap: the AG opinion's 'federally approved' phrasing predates the no-registration federal regime; no Michigan authority has addressed it (ATF's guidance notes it does not supersede state law). |
| Hunting | Allowed - Michigan became the 38th state to allow hunting with suppressors in 2016 (Natural Resources Commission repealed the Wildlife Conservation Order ban); 2026 DNR deer regulations contain no suppressor restriction. |
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.
