    Specifically poaching in the west and Appalachian mountains, where a silencer would reduce a rifle report down from "being able to be hear for miles" to "only being able to be heard one holla over". Yes and no. For common hunting rifles, arguably yes since poaching is still a thing that can...

I took some pre-law level Constitutional Law classes back in college and was the only one who was on the English track, everyone else was pre-law, some history, and some business.
