Suppressors are legal in Kansas as long as you comply with federal law. Possessing a suppressor is "criminal use of weapons" under K.S.A. 21-6301 (severity level 9 felony), but subsection (h) exempts anyone in compliance with the federal National Firearms Act (NFA).

  • ColoradoConditional

    Suppressors are legal in Colorado once they are registered with the federal government. A silencer is a "dangerous weapon" (C.R.S. 18-12-102, class 5 felony), but a valid federal National Firearms Act (NFA) permit is an affirmative defense, so a properly registered suppressor is lawful.

  • MissouriConditional

    Suppressors are legal in Missouri as long as they are possessed in compliance with federal law. Under RSMo 571.020 possessing a firearm silencer is an offense only if done "in violation of federal law," so a suppressor registered under the federal National Firearms Act (NFA) is lawful.

    Suppressors are legal in Nebraska once you complete the federal National Firearms Act (NFA) process. Nebraska's prohibited-weapons statute (Neb. Rev. Stat. 28-1203) lists only machine guns and short rifles and shotguns, and silencers are not on that list. Nebraska legalized hunting with suppressors in 2014.
