Sigma40Blaster:

I was a little surprised to see one of THE SD Gurus say that there are no documented case of an individual using a suppressor in a SD situation (if I read right).

What came out of the above article is that no published opinion, in appellate, Supreme Court, or Alaska or Kali law exists on said subject.

Mas does have knowledge, as do some of us, of the really horrible cases that have gone to trial, and should not have.
Ignorant DA's are REALLY scary, and, there are a few around, that don't bother to uphold the Constitution, or even their own states laws, see Louisiana for the gun holdings by N.O. Police and DA.

In Texas, I would find an attorney, or someone willing to do research on suppressors used in shootings. The details of your CCW, where you would carry it, why, and how you might employee it, are huge, and, considerably different from a home attack. Going out the door really changes the rules.
