SB 1092: Firearms: silencers.

Existing law makes it a felony to possess a silencer, as defined, for a firearm.

This bill would instead make it a felony to possess a silencer that is attached to a firearm with a barrel that measures less than 16 inches in length.

Existing law restricts the use of firearms in certain areas while hunting, prohibits hunting with a firearm while intoxicated, and requires the use of certain ammunition.

This bill would authorize hunting while using a lawfully possessed silencer that is attached to a firearm with a barrel measuring 16 inches or more in length.
