Texas Parks and Wildlife proposing allowing supressors for game aninamls: Public input needed
OK guys, time to take action!
It’s about time, there is NO reasonable justification for the prohibition of suppressors for hunting game animals in Texas.
Even in England where they have severely restricted firearms the use of suppressors for hunting is the norm.
PLEASE TAKE A FEW MOMENTS AND ASSERT YOUR RIGHTS
Regarding the proposed amendment allowing the use of silencers, the department has determined that there is no resource- or enforcement-related reason to prohibit the use of firearm silencers for the take of alligators, game animals or game birds, and therefore proposes to eliminate the current prohibition. The department notes that if the proposal is adopted, it will not relieve any person of the obligation to otherwise comply with any applicable state, federal, or local law governing the possession or use of firearm silencers

Thanks for the info. I will contact TPWD in support of the removal of the prohibition of suppressors for game animal hunting.
