    Yes, but why? And lawyers would have a field day in court if you shot somebody with it. Spend the $900.00 for the suppressor on some training, you'll be better off.

    I am not aware of any law that would prevent you from doing so, however logic should.

    I can't think of any good reason to CC with a suppressor and this is coming from a guy who owns one.

    This is probably a worse idea than the guy who asked about carrying "blanks".

    Carry it how?

    The only holster I have ever seen that allows for such carry was for a M9/92F/92FS/96. Unless you plan on making one. The diameter of a suppressor is going to be much larger than the barrel so you can't use a regular holster.

    James....is that you?

    I can't say for sure, but I can't see why that would be illegal. Perhaps one of our board lawyers/cops could shed some more information about transporting a 50 like that.

    Certainly not illegal (didn't see anything in the UFA covering such (and if it's not prohibited by law, then it's legal)), but it would probably attract attention, both wanted and unwanted. Pick up an Army-surplus M-37B1 three-quarter-ton truck, repaint it to its original colors and markings, and the M-3 would look right at home.

    I don't see why not, or why you'd want to, but I do remember when I got my CC license, the guy at the courthouse told me I can carry anything I damn well please (we were talking selective fire).
