Here in Minne-SNOW-ta, cans are a strict no-no. Seems kind of odd to me as we can legally posses most any other NFA regulated weapon... But no suppressors!! Don't take this the wrong way now... when my get my approval for my SBR, I'll be shooting loud and proud!! However, what about those other time where the excessive blast may not be such a good thing?
I'm not just looking for the "tacticool" factor, which is very high by the way, but for more useful purposes such as in deer hunting. I don't know of one guy up here that uses any kind of hearing protection in the field. Not that there isn't any available, they (me included) just don't use them. Entry a suppressor... a major drop in dB, and a bit more vel to boot. honestly, some years, opening morning sounds like WWIII with shots echoing in from all over. Throw a few cans in the mix and the deer woods would be a much quieter place come November.
However, the powers the be, seem to look on cans as being part of the criminal element. And, I'll wager they get most of that from TV... How does one go about getting the laws changed? Where could I find info to back up the "pro can" position? And you do we present this to? Your thoughts....
