GROK Says:
No, suppressors (also called silencers) are not legal for civilians in California.
silencershop.com
California state law bans the possession, sale, manufacture, transport, or use of any firearm suppressor/silencer. This is a felony under Penal Code § 33410, which states:
“Any person, firm, or corporation who within this state possesses a silencer is guilty of a felony and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by imprisonment pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 1170 or by a fine not to exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000), or by both that fine and imprisonment.”
Even if the device is legally owned under federal law (NFA or otherwise), California’s ban still applies and overrides it.

Quick key facts (as of June 2026):
The ban has not been lifted. There are ongoing court challenges (like the Sanchez case in the Ninth Circuit) and some optimism from gun-rights groups, but the law remains in full effect right now.

Federal changes (like the 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act that removed the $200 tax stamp and NFA registration for suppressors at the federal level) do not make them legal in California. State law controls possession here.

Only limited exceptions exist for law enforcement agencies, military, and certain authorized on-duty peace officers (Penal Code § 33415). Civilians get none.

You cannot legally buy one in another state and bring it into California.
If you’re a California resident, owning or even having one in your possession is a serious felony. Laws can change, so for the absolute latest status check the California Department of Justice or consult a firearms attorney. This is not legal advice.
