Re: Suppressor hunting in Ohio?
Does anyone have a legal answer, I just half ass searched the Ohio Revised Code and could not find anything pertaining to the use of a "muffler, silencer, suppressor".
I thought there used to be a disqualifier but cannont find it now.
Not to be a dick but I could care less what a local DNR has to say about it, I want to know the law.
Will do some more checking myself, but thought someone might have the ORC that says you cannot do it.
Thanks
Scott

Re: Suppressor hunting in Ohio?
For PA I called the central office and spoke with their legal team of writters and prosecuters. there answer was yes they are legal here in PA to hunt with. Unfortunately, I asked the local wardens and deputy's first who were mostly clueless and most said they were illegal.
Go to the source and ask, then get something in writting via mail or email from the person you spoke to.

Re: Suppressor hunting in Ohio?
Its legal to hunt with SBR's (if it meets minimum caliber restriction) and Supressors in VA as long as you are legal to have it and a properly licensed hunter
