(GunReports.com) — The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission will vote on the department’s hunting regulation proposals — including whether the state will allow the use of lawfully owned suppressors for hunting — on Thursday, March 29 at 9 a.m. in the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Commission Hearing Room, 4200 Smith School Road, Austin, TX 78744.
Current Texas law permits the use of lawfully-possessed suppressors for all other shooting activities, including the taking of nuisance species.
The NRA strongly supports the proposed rule changes which would allow for the use lawfully owned suppressors for hunting. The benefits associated with suppressor use include increased accuracy due to reduced recoil and muzzle blast, protection from hearing damage and reduced noise pollution.
