Self defense with suppressed weapon

Post by Tomahawk » Sat Apr 09, 2016 9:15 am

We all know the reasoning behind a suppressor for home self defense, it's not to "assassinate" an intruder in our home but to preserve our hearing.

Has anyone seen cases where someone has used a suppressed weapon for self defense and gotten charged because of it? I'm going to get an AR9/MPX/Kriss vector when I find a place that has them for a good price, I will also be SBR and Suppressing it. Wondering if it is a bad idea to use for home defense?

I feel like the answer is yes since I will be living in the Northwest which is normally full of liberals. Seeing a suppressed weapon probably won't work in my favor.

In the northwest or worse the northeast. Yes you would be charged. In KY I dont know. Just some food for thought. It was brought up in the Zimmerman trail that he had an aftermarket grip sleeve on his gun to make it more deadly. IMO your best bet to avoid a trial is use factory gun and ammo. That's why the j frame or GP100 at my home defense goto.
