Suppressors: Hearing Protection, Recoil Reduction, and Quieter Hunts
[Breitbart] Firearm suppressors are legal to own in over 40 states, and they deliver advantages to the target shooter, the hunter, and the environment as well.
The American Suppressor Association notes that suppressors are legal to own in 42 states, and hunting with suppressors is legal in nearly all of those 42 states.
To be clear, suppressors do not erase the sound the of gunshot. Rather, they muffle it to a degree sufficient to reduce the sharp, earsplitting sound associated with a gun being fired. This offers hearing protection to the target shooter and the hunter alike, and it is also means less of a disturbance of the natural environment.
On hunts conducted with multiple hunters, the muffling effect of a suppressor is truly appreciated. Especially when the round is as big (and loud) as a 45-70 Auto or a .380 Win
