[QUOTE="CAR-AR-M16, post: 1175794, member: 204"] I do see your point and I agree that if the law does not prohibit something, then it is legal. However, holsters, aftermarket sites, lasers, pinky extentions, lights on rails, etc.. are not defined as firearms. A suppressor is defined as a firearm (even though I do not think it should be). If the SDA only allows a handgun to be carried, then it does not allow any other firearm to be carried. That is the point I was trying to make and it is just my interpretation. On the other side of the coin, I would have to ask why you would want to carry a suppressed handgun. Unless it is an intergrally suppressed gun like a Ruger MkII, I would think that it would be harder to conceal, slower to draw and, like Stewball pointed out, would probably subject you to stricter scrutiny by LE if you ever had to use it. I do not see any advantage to carrying a suppressed CCW. Don't get me wrong, I like suppressors (I have 4 myself), I just don't know why anyone would want to carry with one. As always, YMMV [/QUOTE]
