2 silencer questions

[fearless warrior]

What about shooting a legally owned suppressor on federal land or in a sovereign nation, within Washington State? Just food for thought.

What about shooting a legally owned suppressor on federal land or in a sovereign nation, within Washington State? Just food for thought.

Generally, the gun laws of the state in which the federal land is located prevail. As for reservation land, that could, possibly, be tricky. Tribal -vs.- State jurisdiction is not perfectly clear. Obviously, all FEDERAL laws would apply, but I'd have to hear from an attorney (or three) on whether a state law prohibiting the use of a silencer would be binding on tribal lands. And, it may even depend on WHO is shooting. Some rulings have said that tribal law applies to members of that nation, but not on citizens of the surrounding state when on tribal lands (and vice-versa, maybe).

Very grey area, I think.

there are some european countries that REQUIRE use of a supressor when within xxx distance of a home or business.
It just seems to me that with all of the OSHA laws regarding use of noisy devices in industry and commerce that a noise reducer (muffler) for a gun would be a non controlled device. I mean they dont require registration and $200 tax on the earmuffs you wear at the range right? why require it on silencers?

Vltor announced the Volks suppressor back at the SHOT Show in January. They are still working on it around all the gov't contracts. Predicted price was $400. It's a reflex design rumored to be similar to the Euro designs. Vltor is also reputed to be a the supplier to a major suppressor brand.

Vltor reps have said it's still coming this fall, keep looking for it. If you live in MO then it gives you time to apply for your C&R to start the countdown. I wouldn't plan on using it this season for deer, but that question has been asked and answered - it's ok here.

Once all you 5.56 guys get the ball rolling, then maybe we could see a .308 for the 6.8 shooters, too.

I wouldnt buy local (oregon ) as none of the makers listed makes anything comparable to say a Silencerco Sparrow or Osprey but they are good gunsmiths for threading barrels & making adapters etc.. Of course several Oregon class 3 dealers stock the good stuff from neighboring Idaho and Utah :SIlencerco, Gemtech etc. As for why we need to go through the NFA hoops for cans its mostly because of Hollywoods example of silencers are tools of assassins which has been planted in the minds of America, also as mentioned the olden days when the country didnt want people to poach when they were hungry, despite silencers are never really silent.
