Your thoughts on suppressor a for hunting.

Let'm go for it .

I knew my home state of TX would be legal. Texas is a republic.

i think suppressors are great, but with that said... unless its a subsonic round how much noise reduction is it really gonna do?

Plenty enough to save your eardrums. Like I said before it takes a ~160 db rifle shot down to ~130 (140 db is the OSHA standard for permenant hearing loss even in extremely small doses).

It makes a .308 comparable to .22lr. No more ringing ears.

I have one for my 22. I don't know but I don't think you can use one yet. I would love to be able
to use mine when squirrel hunting. If anyone knows let me know.

I fail to see why people like suppressors so much. I have no use for them. I`ve fired suppressed guns. Ain`t impressed.

When you can walk into a store, lay down cash or plastic and walk out with a suppressor I will do that and gladly hunt with it, until that day, none for me.

Same here.

It did. Mainly because of mis-information and ignorance about what suppressors actually do. Hunting with suppressors isn't something new. There are many States where it has been legal for quite some time.

ETA: Florida is not right on the map they allow non-game animal hunting on private property according to this link: http://myfwc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2781/kw/silencer

Amazing that many gun-liberal states allow it, while many gun-loving states don't.
