I have to fill out the Class III forms but the suppressors aren't too expensive. =============================== Have you ever tried any of the sub-sonic ammo? I haven't and am curious how much they diminish the "crack" when they are fired. |

I haven't and am curious how much they diminish the "crack" when they are fired. It's a noticeable difference, but they're still pretty loud rounds. I've seen demos of suppressors with subsonic rounds, and on a .22LR, the sound is still there, but it's very soft and does not sound anything like a firearm. |

The nearest neighbor's house is about 400 feet from where I'd be shooting and in the opposite direction of where I'd be aiming, so I figured it wouldn't be a bother to him. Boy, was I surprised. The damn thing is louder than the Marlin .22 lever action I have. Muzzle velocity is actually higher. 1200 fps for the standard lead pellets and 1400 fps for the light, alloy pellets. Very accurate, but it weighs a ton. http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/airgundepot_2254_185840498 |

I'm interested in the suppressor because there's an area, a dry creek bed, on our property that is legally distant enough from neighboring properties, to be used as a target range. The creek bed is 15 to 20 feet deep where I'd like to set up a range, and it curves where the backstop would be. Ideal. Except...I don't want to disturb the neighbors and...the snakes...I am sure are down there somewhere. ![]() pistol and rifle down there. |

If it's not on an authorized range you are not allowed to fire a gun in Maryland. I suppose hunting is illegal in Maryland as well. |

It's a liberal thing.. as long as you don't think it will bother anybody, you can break the law in Maryland I guess. |

Poor PsychoSnotty: mentally unbalanced and dumb enough to believe FlaJim/Hank/Mired, who only posts here to get a rise out of morons like...PsychoSnotty. Firing a gun on private property in Maryland is under the purview of local law, not state law, and the laws vary fairly widely. Calvert County is still mostly rural. "Code of Calvert County Title 15, subtitle 1. 15-102. Permission required. (a)Except for a law enforcement officer in the line of duty or as provided in Subsection (b) of this section, a person may not discharge a firearm: (1)Within 150 yards of a building which can be used as a residence, whether occupied or vacant; or (2)On any property owned by another person or by Calvert County without evidence of permission on his person." The part of the dry creek bed I'd like to use as an informal range is more than 150 yards from any neighbor's house. |
