    With a suppressor and someone’s radio on, more than likely, they couldn’t hear it in a vehicle.

    Can’t vouch for NYC but in Texas, where it’s fucking legal to carry without a license, it’s not uncommon, but I can go weeks without seeing someone openly carry. Concealed is way more popular, so hard to say how many actually daily carry.

      It’s legal in most states to carry without a license. As of 2024, 29 states have adopted “Constitutional Carry”. Only 8 states actually have a restrictive license. The remaining 13 grant licenses to anyone who is not otherwise prohibited from carrying. It’s more of a concealed carry registration than a license.

      Suppressed shots are still loud, just not deafening. Most people would think they’re fireworks.

      Definitely not like the mouse-farts that silenced guns in movies make, though.

      Kinda like in L.A. knowing just how many guys are wearing chastity belts. Maybe none. But you don’t know.
