[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 5757863, member: 549629"] I never suggested you shoot just to scare or alert. But you will certainly obtain those results. Do you think every audio professional in the US has a need/right for a silencer, should they chose to own a firearm? What about musicians? Air traffic controllers? People who have wives who are very cranky when woken in the middle of the night? That kid who 'tunes' car stereo's down at your local BestBuy? Or just you? Can you show any evidence that, god forbid, if you were involved in an isolated incident like a home invasion where gun fire occurred, that substantial concern over permanent hearing damage is likely, or even possible? Ive fired plenty of guns with no hearing protection on. Are my ears unusually tough, or have I ruined my chances of becoming an audio engineer? I guess if the intruder has a gun with no silencer, you can kiss your career goodbye. Or if a mugger in the street demands your wallet or he'll shoot, you'll be thinking 'oh god cover my ears!'.
