Frickin' awesome. A birdie told me SIG had something to do with it by holding a suppressor demonstration/education day for interested reps/senators and F&G. Does anyone know if F&G voiced opposition this time around?

They are legal in Mass. You just have to be one of the chosen ones. Jack.

I'm not saying I'll vote for her, but I'm starting to reconsider actively campaigning against Hassan.

There are still plenty of vetoes that justify actively campaigning against her.
With the new law in effect, a buddy organized a suppressor demonstration day for some F&G Officers.
He asked me to help by bringing my NFA items and some steel targets. He and his other friend brought their NFA items also.
There was a short discussion of the laws related to suppressor ownership and then the officers had the opportunity to shoot various suppressed rifles and pistols.
A few of the officers I spoke to were neutral in their opinion of suppressor hunting and the new law.
Many were surprised to learn that NH was the 40th state to allow suppressor hunting.
They were impressed with the sound reduction provided by suppressors.
Kyle Aspinwell (Glock District Manager) was there and gave a short presentation on the newest pistols.
We had an opportunity to shoot them and he also bought the pizza for lunch!

Andy, what was the reason they were neutral (if they shared that info)? I am only assuming they were neutral because they were face to face with guys who want to hunt with suppressors.
One stated that his poaching arrests resulted from investigation methods other than chasing gunshots.
I still don't fully understand why F&G is so opposed to hunting with suppressors. Their poaching argument doesn't hold much water being that suppressors have been legal in NH for years. Only thing I can come up with is they just love being dicks.
