Kansas Legislature Approves Silencer Hunting Bill
« on: April 06, 2011, 05:36:56 PM »
If you're a Kansas resident, there could be a new sound coming soon to your neck of the woods, the sound of...silence?

From this AP story on fox4kc.com:
The Kansas Legislature has approved a bill that would allow the use of silencers for hunting, fishing and fur harvesting. The bill, supported by the National Rifle Association, is awaiting Gov. Sam Brownback's signature. The Hays Daily News reports that the bill received only one no vote in the Senate and was unanimously approved by the House last week.

I wish more states would follow their lead.
The comments at the link show that most folks have zero knowledge about suppressors. (too much TV)

I use electronic Pro-Ears when doing ALL shooting, including hunting. 
Works great in MN in November but in AZ in July it's HOT and not very comfortable. A suppressor would be sweet.

my understand the only reason suppressors were made restrictive in the 1st place was fear of poaching.

I don't see any sporting problem with it. Sledge is right about the origin of the laws (as some members of my family might attest :o). My only objection would be if fish and game thought the poaching aspect would be an issue, even there, it seems compromises (public vs private land say), could be reached.

Why do I keep doing this? Well, one theory is that Tom is paying me to claim Tab isn't an American citizen so he can be deported. ;D Sorry, brain fart on my part.

"Hunting, fishing and fur gathering"?  How does the fishing part work? Are they fish in a barrel? Or are they talking about kill shots like on a really pissed-off Mako? No Makos in Kansas though.... ???
