Suppressor law
Carve-out in flux
Legal, but the state exception is written for federally registered owners. Since the ATF's October 9, 2026 policy, new purchases cannot register — the statute is untested for them.
| Statute | NRS 202.350(1)(b), (6) |
| Notes | NRS 202.350(1)(b) makes silencer possession a category C felony 'unless authorized by federal law'; (6) exempts persons federally 'licensed, authorized or permitted' and puts the burden of establishing that on the possessor; (g) defines 'silencer'. Statute is keyed to federal NFA registration (26 U.S.C. 5801-5871 / NFRTR). ATF's Oct. 9, 2026 guidance (https://www.atf.gov/firearms/update-to-nfa-transfer-guidance) stopped NFA approval/registration for covered suppressors; a suppressor bought after that date may be unregistered, and whether it satisfies this state's federal-keyed language is untested — flagged, does not change the statutory text. |
| Hunting | Legal — no suppressor restriction anywhere in NRS ch. 503 (manner-of-taking statutes, e.g. 503.150, are silent on suppressors). |
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.
