Murmur, what part of the world are you in? I ask because around here, you cannot hunt, even varmints, w/ a suppressor.

Way over in little old New Zealand. Suppressors are perfectly legal and widely used. Fantastic for pest control & for keeping our hearing intact. We can still go hunting for free on public land where still plently of game reside in the beautiful outdoors. How much longer that will last is anybodys guess. I hope one day little johnny will be able to experience the same thing.

Hello murmur,

I plan on migrating to your country next year.(I hope you do not mind, I make very good french bread)
What are the gun laws like over there? Any system of licensing like here in the Uk, or is there a bit more freedom like in US, france or switzerland?

New Zealand

Firearm laws are very relaxed....with some unusual twists....
No hunting with handguns....range use only. You have to be sponsored by a pistol club & then attend several events a year to maintain licence.
Military style weapons (AR's, AK's, anything with 15 shot mag, folding stock or flash hider) require a special licence. The trick here is none of these can be imported into the country. Only existing rifles in NZ are available. An AR here costs nothing short of 10,000 NZ dollars!!!! because of this. Another reason why I don't have a semi 300 whisper.
But beyond that rules are relaxed....yes people even own 50BMG's & 510 whispers and all sorts of other fun goodies.
The best part is still the large range of hunting availble on public land for free. Some verygood animals are taken if the hours are put in.
I think Your'l like the relaxed life style.
