Carry with suppressor legal?

[oldpink]

As for concealed carry, you've got to be kidding.
Good luck finding a holster that can make carrying that big can screwed onto the muzzle comfortable, much less concealable.
On top of that, suppressors greatly affect pointability and your sight picture.
I just don't see the logic of them for even home defense.
You want your gun as quick and easy to deploy as possible, not with some unwieldy can to get in the way or act as a handle for the bad guy to wrench the gun out of your hand.
The muzzle blast indoors will be the least of your worries, given that the bad guy should be your major cause for concern.
Finally, while a properly registered suppressor may be fully legal, you can bet an overzealous prosecutor or the bad guy's attorney would do their best to make hay out of that little gadget.
Why deal with all those issues?
Sorry, I just don't get the idea at all.

Now that is funny right there, coming from the individual that doesn't follow his/her own advice.

Do you have much experience with Internet message boards?

I think it's a good idea. I do a concealed appendix carry in skinny jeans. I route the suppressor down the left leg.

Now, that's Bragging!

Is that a suppressor? Or are you just happy to.... Never mind... Can't do it.

Interesting take on this...I keep the can on the sbr next to the bed at night...for rifle it's good to go..for a suppressor on a handgun, going to agree with others that not real practical for carry.

Tons of experience, both taking and (yeah, I'll admit to it) giving.
Just a bit taken aback by the overabundance and degree of it here.

Just a thought but a shoulder holster would be feasible for a shorter suppressor lol. Seriously though suppressors are controlled because they have a bad image as a killing device so it would probably kill you in court.

Seriously, though, no. They're not controlled because they have a bad image as a killing device.

They're controlled the way they are as a means of controlling the 'po folks as they attempted to take game, much more quietly, in order to put food on their late-depression-era tables. In season - out of season - it doesn't much matter when there's a real possibility of starving.

Actually suppressors are controlled because of the fear of poaching.

Hollywood hadn't ruined the image of suppressors yet in 1934.

 

[Toughestsoldiers]

I really doubt with all the issues with public media emphasizing shootings that poaching now continues to be much more then an issue when you discuss suppressors with law makers. Maybe im wrong, but just because it was a reason before doesnt mean that it has the same weight it used to.

 

[curraheeguns]

And btw, the Thompson Machine Poseidon is an excellent choice for carrying on a EDC if you so choose. We have several customers that do just that and several LE & Govt customers that carrying them on a belt for easy installation if needed.

Especially those LE customers worried about entities into possible flammable situations like Meth labs.

 

[ModernGunner]

The Poseidon is great, would love to have one.

As a practical matter for carry, JMO but even with a Poseidon on, say a Glock 19, we're looking at a firearm system roughly 12" long. Even presuming a custom shoulder rig is made, that's a l-o-n-g handgun to carry as an EDC. If I'm carrying a firearm that long, I'd probably want something with a more 'potent' round than a 9mm, like a .223.

 

[curraheeguns]

The Glock 30 with a Poseidon .45 is 2.5" longer then a Beretta 92. Plenty of punch and really not bad to conceal.

The reason suppressors are still illegal in Minnesota is "poaching".They may be legal in Indiana,but be aware they are not legal everywhere federal stamp or not.

Looks like they opened it up for hunting in Indiana. Every state has its own laws. Last I remember it was legal to own a suppressor in the state of Washington. But you could not use it.

Holy crap...up to an additional 20 years??? That seems a bit harsh...
