In the Aurora, Colorado, home invasion, the home owners killed the perp.
The people who lived there used proper procedure to call the police.
Did the noise of the gunfire to kill the perp temporarily deafen the home owner? Is there a means for the police to better communicate in such a situation?
I think using a silencer goes too far. But what about a device that makes the noise something that would not interfere with hearing. There is a big difference between firing a handgun indoors versus outdoors in terms of the noise.
In this example, should gun owners have noise suppression device?
I would clearly concede that the police should have been more patient.
Hand gestures probably should have been used with telling the home owner to put down the weapon.
My primary home-defense handgun has a suppressor. Whether I go with that or with the 12 gauge, I’ll also go with hearing protection (desperately needed with the shotgun!), and the ear protection is right above my guns. Silencers make shooting much more pleasant, and most of my shooting is done with one.
Scilencer is ok.
