Maintaining peace while shooting

Easy now

Yes, as stated it is NFA compliant so I'm legit. Have my ATF approval, paid my $200 fee and waited about 100 days to get it. I don't actually "own" it. It's held as Corpus which allowed me to eFile my form 1 and avoid the need for local LEO signature.

... the trust is the smart way to do it ... that allows you to use eFile which is a bit faster. If you do it as an individual like I did my first one ... it could cause trouble for your loved ones if you were to die. With a trust, anyone listed in it has access to it.

Bingo! Wish I had a lathe like u but I found a lot of enjoyment planning it out and drilling. I went with a Ti tube and end caps. Added expense but still a fraction what off the shelf Ti suppressors cost.

I'm going to guess one reason there is a legal aversion to them is that they make this technology, which a lot of law enforcement agencies are investing in, obsolete: ShotSpotter Gunshot Detection and Location Service | Protect Critical Infrastructure, Campuses, Cities

I just shoot sub sonic ammo. It is still quite as a mouse fart without all the legal crap. I think the Hollywood line of thinking making a 357 mag quite as a mouse fart is the reason for all the legal crap.

Things may have changed but we had the Boomerang system on one of my 'vacations' and it did well in the open but in urban/city environments ... not so much. Tall buildings, trucks, cars etc., ... all cause reflections of the sound. So I'm pretty sure they are a big waste of tax payer dollars for one. Secondly, what good does it do to bring police into an area where they suspect something happened but yet no one will cooperate with the police? This is the biggest problem currently going on at all these 'peaceful' gatherings we've all watched on the news the past few years. There is no substitute for a cop on the beat that has a rapport with citizens.

Call me skeptical ... for the money Richmond has spent for two years on this system ($591,915) they could of had 20 additional cops at $30K a year (police don't make much ... they don't do it for the money):

Plus, criminals in the area where these things are won't be stupid. They will illegally use a suppressor or figure out where the microphones are and take their business to where they aren't ... they aren't interested in coughing up $200, going through a long background check at the nations central fingerprint/biometrics facility and following the law like we do.

Yeah, like screwing something onto the end of a revolver is going to quiet it down.
I just read a gun editor's comment on the "worst Hollywood gun stunt" he referred to Thomas Magnum special gun in Quigley down under. I would have mentioned the Clint Eastwood movie where he picked up a pair of binoculars and held them next to the rifle in to make a long shot in leiu of a scope..

One thing you can be sure of, anything you learned about guns and shooting from Hollywood is/was wrong.
