Florida To Allow Hunting With Suppressors
(NSSF News)
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission last Friday voted unanimously to repeal the state's 57-year ban on hunting with suppressors. Effective immediately, Florida hunters are allowed to use sound suppressors on firearms while hunting deer, gray squirrels, rabbits, turkey, quail and crows. Florida joins 32 other states in allowing the use of suppressors for hunting all game animals. Meanwhile, a committee of the Ohio State Senate may consider legislation this week that would repeal that state's prohibition on hunting with firearm suppressors. The measure passed in the Ohio House of Representatives earlier this year. For more information, see http://www.nssf.org/factsheets/PDF/Suppressors.pdf
