According to Kitsap Prosecutor Hauge, a box designed for use on the Kitsap Rifle and Revolver Club, to supress the report and restrict the angle of departure from a firearm would be illegal as it is a "SUPRESSOR" 9.41.250(c). Using this narrow view and interpretation,one would be guilty of a gross misdemeanor by using ear protection while shooting.
Hauge goes on to say "I see no harm, and much good coming from carefully crafted language allowing law-abiding citizens to posess and use firearm sound supressors. We've never, to my knowledge, encountered a crime involving a supressor and Ihave a tough time imagining how the use of one would facilitate another crime other than spy- novel assassination attempts. On the other hand, controlling the noise from otherwise lawful and safe use of firearms would address a significant problem in populated areas. I would support such legislation"
This could be an interesting development. The ATF was questioned and said that because eit was not portable and not attached to a fire arm, it was not a supressor under federal law.
