Legal ramifications? You mean like using a legal item for legally and morally-sanctioned self defense? Nobody's been able to cite any law against using a legally-possessed silencer for self-defense, nor any court cases where the presence of a silencer made a difference in a self-defense case.
No one needs to cite such a law. We are not speaking about a criminal case. We are speaking of a civil case. I am not aware of a case where anyone was irresponsible enough to use a silencer in SD.

Remember according to criminal law OJ Simpson was not found guilty. Civilly he lost it all. Do you honestly think that any reputable defense attorney with firearms experience is going to condone the use of a silencer for SD? Ask him if he will match you dollar for dollar in your civil case defense fund. Then ask him if he will do the same for any monetary award the court may instruct you to pay. I bet not.
