I'm GWE on you getting ability to own a suppressor. Done deal from
what I've read. We're still just like the People's Republic of
Kalifornia in regard to suppressors here in MN.

They are legal here where I'm at but I fail to see any legimate purpose
for
them especially considering that the attendant permitting fee is
~$300.00...

Well if you lived next door to me, the noise from my practice for an hour
or more at a
time, would likely get to you eventually.


Aww okay I see now that you meant for noise suppression, not flash...I
haven't seriously looked into the law here yet as it was my son that told me
about their recently legalizing suppressors and so it may be that the design
still must allow muzzle flash to remain visible at night....Or perhaps
not...let's have a look...

Appears as long as it's within Federal compliance then all is good...

--sadly, I don't have time look into at what what the Fed has to say.

I probably would hardly notice even if you were firing a 50 browning next
door but unless you really had a really good layout on your property you
would likely just do like several other locals and come over here to shoot
instead.

We use disposable earplugs or the Smith & Wesson blue earmuffs which I'm
pretty sure came from either MSC or McMaster of which there are several
pairs in the shop.

One neighbor did complain about noise a few years back though--the Sheriff
stopped by and let me know that he basically told her if she is truly upset
by the sound of gun fire then she should probably move back to the city.....


Don't forget to make a donation to your sheriff's re-election campaign
and mention you appreciated this. This little offer may probably buy
another favor down the road. The sheriff is a good person to be
friends with.
