I have a bunch of woods in my back yard and (like I did today) I sometimes want to test fire a weapon. However, I do have some neighbors maybe hundreds of yards away (not in the area of the woods and I am in the country).
Got the "bright" idea today of maybe using a suppressor/silencer (aren't they one in the same?) so as to not have the neighbors hear.
Not illegal to shoot as best I can tell.
But, it seems as though to put a suppressor on a hand gun, you got to go through a bunch of beaurocracy and pay a 200 (+-) tax and fill out paper work and get approvals with the Sheriff in addition to the cost of the suppressor.
Can anyone shed any light on this? Seems like a pita to be quiet.
