texas considering 'sound suppressors' on hunting rifles

[David]

I just buy other things, makes the wait go by.

[KBScobravert]

my latest tax-paid transfer took a mere eleven days from the time I mailed my packet to BATFE until I had back in hand my approved Form 4 with the $200 tax stamp affixed, and that transfer was actually slightly delayed....

How come I had to wait so long then?

edit:
Oh, I see

FBI agents must have a fast track... makes sense. But doesn't really help anyone else.

Sure would be nice, I wondered if the HRT had any backing in truth.

Fuck. They really need to hire more examiners. This shit is getting ridiculous.

Hmm... growing occupational niche perhaps?!?!? I wonder what it takes to be an examiner.

Cool data CJ. As a developer I'm intrigued. Is that your site?

Funny, I actually wrote an algorithim to calculate this a few months ago, and NFA tracker used almost an identical one. You can find it at NFAtracker.com

I absolutely suck at hunting and even I can understand the benefits of being allowed to utilize a suppressor.

[Boomhauer]

so what did this change exactly .. that you can now hunt with a suppressor?

sounds like a law that's keeping the honest people honest ..

The law has nothing to do with keeping honest people honest. Have you fired a 30 caliber rifle with a suppressor? I can say you probably have not because its not that quite. In addition if you are anything like me you probably do not wear hearing protection while hunting. Over a long period of time hunting you can have some accumulative hearing damage.

Call or write a letter to your congressman, Mr. Thornberry from our district has called and wrote letters on more than one occasion to the BATF over extended wait times.

True!

Currently I *THINK* the wait is 6-9 months. If a bunch of people go for silencers it will extend probably to 12-15 months.

They really need to hire people.

For our area and investigator we are averaging 5.5 months. But it's trending upward.

[Dacotua]

And that's only 4 fold
