As nice as a suppressor would be, I am not to crawl to the ATF with money in hand to get the appropriate license to own the said suppressor.
Remember the connector from the 1980s that threaded a pistol barrel to a soda pop bottle? It really worked for several rounds!
My FIREPOWER magazine referred to it as the PEPSI CHALLENGE later changed to the POPSI Challenge.
It is not a license. It is an excise tax. You pay an 11% excise tax on every gun and round of ammunition that you purchase, whether or not you are aware of it or not.
I used to feel that way too.I decided that you only get one life and I wanted the toys that most amused me.
I don't blame you.
I can't remember the "hero" but one guy said that he kept his gun LOUD to discourage all the do-gooders and bystanders. Lol. Or something like that. I liked that answer.
