Suppressors now legal for hunting in Alabama.

"This morning, the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Advisory Board voted unanimously to repeal the prohibition on the use of suppressors while hunting for all game and non-game animals, effective immediately." http://americansilencerassociation.com/alabama-suppressor-hunting-legal-effective-immediately/

That's great! We can have them in Montana just can't legally hunt big game with them. Too many hippies from Cali run our state government and they voted against that last year.
Thinking about getting one on my new AR and use it for my 22-250. Perfect for prairie dogs and shooting around my baby.

Pretty cool huh. If I read it right we just got it passed in GA with our new gun bill as well.

Congrats Bama! It's interesting that your Nat Resources could change it. It took a couple of tries and State House / Senate to pass it here.

Takem, Do a little reading on your laws before using for even PD's. I wanted to use a suppressor for yotes and the law in GA (the old one) made no exception for them or other non-game critters that I could find. Some game laws are not a really big deal if violated (Not advocating here!), but adding an nfa item to the mix could be.
