Providing that a person had the proper paperwork on file with the proper authorities, and kept copies/originals of the authorizing papers to own, and possess a sidearm with a suppressor; exactly how legal would that be to openly carry just as though their sidearm didn't have such an item attached?
I don't recall any of our OC friendly rulings, cases, or KRS statues explicitly barring someone from OC'ing, say, a Beretta 82FS w/ suppressor. But is there some other law, or ruling on the state level, that allows for the barring of carrying such a attachment openly on ones person?
Reason I asked, was, a friend got a job at a semi-local pawnshop that also dabbles in the selling of Suppressors, and such, and tried to get me to jump through all the hoops just so he could get a pay bonus for referring someone, etc. I declined, mostly because I cannot fathom any holster being able to safely, and easily holding secure a pistol with a silencer on it, let alone making it anything less than a chore to have to quickly unholster it, and I can't justify to myself even owning such a thing.
Though it does make me wonder further, how much of a s%#tstorm someone could get into, if they had used a suppressed sidearm in a self-defense scenario, whether or not the weapon was discharged. How easy would it be to convince a judge and/or jury that the person in question shouldn't be considered a tacticool loon for having it, xD
