    I wonder how many folks keep electronic hearing protection by the bed?

    And that is probably measured in a controlled situation. Either outside or a treated room.

    Most homes will have standing waves... lots of them. Nodes that build up.

    The two moving figures on top / bottom left would be the gun shot. The tallest section would be the 160dB. When they are reflected to standing wave node off the walls.... the right image shows how loud they can become.



    That could indeed give you permanent damage.

    You do what you want; I'll stay suppressed.
    Sure I have. And recently. It hurts. Makes your ears ring for awhile, no question. Hearing's ok now, though. Daily gunfights in my house would definitely take its toll after awhile.

    I would imagine a few shots through an unsuppressed rifle that possibly can create hearing damage, would be worth the exposure if you have been confronted with the need to do so.

    I do. I guess the situation would dictate if I even remember to put them on. Plus, they are for sound amplification and saving what is left of my hearing. I have paperwork in for a suppressor. But since I don't have kids or anything yet, I wouldn't hesitate to use my SBR unsuppressed.

    I'm really not sure if I'm more surprised by the number of comments on this forum after all these years regarding negativity of using a legal SBR for exactly what it was created for, or not taking a suppressor's use in the same situation more seriously.

    At some point some people have started back pedaling on some concepts instead of moving forward with their thinking.

    In my opinion those that seem against is are new(er) members and I think they probably should re-examine their priorities and other stuff.

    Here's what I really want to know.

    1. How many firearms are actually confiscated by the police in legal self defense shootings? Would love to see stats on this. Especially because it is my understanding that many shootings are ruled on rather quickly.

    2. Why does everyone assume it would be months or years before they will get their stuff back? Is this based on knowledge or simply speculation?

    For example in Arizona if you claim self defense it is difficult to charge someone unless it can be shown their was negligence or criminal intent. It seems like there is alot of smoke and no fire here.

    I would be shocked if every one isn't. But in that I mean confiscation until an investigation is completed and a county, city, or district attorney confirms that they aren't going to pursue charges and it was, in fact, justifiable.

    After that I would expect in at least most cases the weapons to be returned.
