    With a suppressor and someone’s radio on, more than likely, they couldn’t hear it in a vehicle.

    Can’t vouch for NYC but in Texas, where it’s fucking legal to carry without a license, it’s not uncommon, but I can go weeks without seeing someone openly carry. Concealed is way more popular, so hard to say how many actually daily carry.

      Suppressed shots are still loud, just not deafening. Most people would think they’re fireworks.

      Definitely not like the mouse-farts that silenced guns in movies make, though.

      It’s legal in most states to carry without a license. As of 2024, 29 states have adopted “Constitutional Carry”. Only 8 states actually have a restrictive license. The remaining 13 grant licenses to anyone who is not otherwise prohibited from carrying. It’s more of a concealed carry registration than a license.

      Kinda like in L.A. knowing just how many guys are wearing chastity belts. Maybe none. But you don’t know.
