Using sound moderators in Canada

[Gunner 38]

On account of our silly laws suppressors aren't legal on air-rifles either . --- The Benjamin Marauder is being sold (in the US) WITH a suppressor while here (in Canada) only the "stripped" version is available . --- Not too many crimes committed with air-rifles , BUT ------ !--- Since heavy .22 and .25 caliber pellets won't exceed the speed of sound (leaving THIS barrel) these guns are "absolutely" silent . --- NICE ! --- Perfect for "dropping" half-a-dozen squirrels before they'd wise-up .

Check You Tube - you can make your own silencers - one kind uses a oil filter-

A homemade one is still a prohibited device in Canada

It's interesting that it was encompassed into the Hearing Protection Act...making it a Health and Safety issue...

the 'shooting' aspects are secondary benefit

If we were to push this antis would just say "why not just ban guns entirely?"

It's not the antis we need to convince.

If they're made legal in Canada I'm sure manufacturers biggest market would be guys jacking deer. Home made versions usually affect accuracy too much to make them practical over longer distances.

And the problem we face, bluntly, is that pro-gun groups have so poisoned the waters by such antics as the NFA's "Don't Put Yer Eye Out, Kid" Xmas stunt that it has become very difficult to educate the public. You can't have a reasonable discussion anymore.

The NFA has since largely marginalized itself, even among gun owners. But you're right Welsh, thanks to campaigns like that and the NFA's ill-conceived comments during the Moncton shootings, there's been some damage done. The CSSA being the remaining national gun owners' group seems more level-headed, but also needs to work on its image and profile. As far as the media is concerned, they think that CGN is the national gun lobby.

I heard Steven Rinella talking about this on his podcast. Apparently a CO told him that hearing the gun shots actually helped him catch poachers. If the shot was outside the legal time and simply to locate the hunter in order to check his or her papers or issue a fine, etc.

I could never SEE someone wandering my land, but if they start shooting I hop on the bike and go to see who it is and what they are shooting at. And I have called the MNR at 2am because of shots down the road.
Its a mixed subject in this household...
