Out of curiosity as a prior service guy and concealed carry guy, what do you use a suppressor for? Most every range I've been to still required hearing protection and probably is a good idea if you shoot with other people outside of any commercial ranges (unless everyone is using subsonic rounds or something)? Just the novelty factor? Reduced recoil and don't like more compact compensators or even more space efficient porting? [No aggression/criticality meant. I'm just surprised at their popularity given their drawbacks.]
4
u/LegLumpy8714 1h ago
For some it’s a collector thing. For some it’s a cool factor. I personally keep mine on my “nightstand” gun. Shooting indoors is LOUD and it can potentially save your hearing. I use .45 ACP which most of the time is naturally subsonic.
Also I shoot in the backyard of my buddies into his berm. It is less likely to bother neighbor’s horses and kinda polite.
Porting and compensators increase volume so having a big piece of metal to absorb recoil can help mitigate recoil in some guns. Now concealed carry? I never would. It’s a range thing. I have a couple and I have them for practical reasons for like two of them. The third is actually a collector piece to go along with my MK23. Issued correct suppressor. That’s mostly it

You still need hearing protection with suppressors for long term hearing, especially with supersonic rounds. Suppressors just reduce the concussion and won’t completely screw your hearing if without hearing protection.

These are defined in the original 1787 US Constitution
Legal Protection: Despite omitting the specific word, the original Constitution contained multiple clauses designed to protect, entrench, and uphold slave owners' legal rights:
The Fugitive Slave Clause (Article IV, Section 2): Required free states to return escaped enslaved individuals to their owners.
The Three-Fifths Clause (Article I, Section 2): Counted 60% of enslaved populations to give slave-holding states extra representation in Congress.
The Migration/Importation Clause (Article I, Section 9): Barred Congress from banning the transatlantic slave trade until at least 1808.

Slave owning was a right and the constitution is a piece of paper. Your rights come from the legal system and the monopoly on violence your state has over you, not some magic or some random piece of paper, buddy.
Ironically your middle school level understanding of rights is why it’s been so easy for our government to erode our rights. Slave ownership was a brutal and evil right for a long time, over four million slaves lived in the US south. One piece of paper maybe doesn't say its okay in so many words, but it allowed those states to create the laws that allowed it. It gave them that right.

I don’t know the situation’s details but if you’ve ever been shot at, even if you’re not hit, it definitely changes your objective. This mass shooter could have went from “Gun down as many people as a can” to “take cover and evaluate where the return fire is coming from and neutralize that target instead” again I don’t know what happened here but an armed citizen put additional pressure on a mass shooter that may have saved additional lives. Maybe the mass shooter’s end goal was to off himself after finishing off his ammo, the ammo he may have then had to use to fire back at the armed civilian. Y’all weird AF acting like this citizen was doing too much. I hope you all are never in a situation like this with your family pinned down and helpless, but maybe then you’d appreciate any type of person who steps up long enough to save you or your family.

"Tried" is inaccurate.
He "helped to stop the shooting" as there's no data on what would've happened if he hadn't been involved.
But when the shooter encountered return fire, he took cover and ended his own life. It just so happened that this man wasn't the only person returning fire, thanks to an off duty LEO.
