As much as it rankles me to see people necroposting, it rankles me just as much to see such blatantly incorrect information being passed off.
There are a great number of states where suppressors are legal for hunting, and have been for many years.
If you don't know of what you speak and you pass on incorrect information based on your personal presumption, you're not actually contributing knowledge.
