Reason # 1: protects the crown/muzzle
reason # 2: less muzzle flash at night Reason # 3: because the anti gun groups don't want you to have it. |

Here's some...
Guns are loud! Having a sound suppressor will lower the chances of permanent hearing damage for you and other people who are nearby while you're shooting. The sound suppressor will also lessen the trauma to any gunshy wildlife that are near the shooting range. Last but not least the gunfire will be less disturbing to any residences near the shooting range. Tell the ATF all the above benefits are good for the children...[;)] |

I like them for the main reason that I can teach someone to shoot without yelling at them!

Like another member here said the other day, "So when I shoot an intruder I won't wake up the kids." [;)]
Seriously, as far as the paperwork goes, just put "For collection and recreation." |

I'll give you a good one with a legal reference: In UK riflemen are sometimes employed to shoot vermin (foxes, and such), either hired by estates or self-employed 'by the head' (doesn't matter as long as money changes hands). Hearing loss therefore falls under 'health and safety in the workplace' laws and can result in civil action against the employer unless the employer has taken every reasonable precaution (like ensuring the shooter uses a supppressor). Since there are no shortage of lawyers in the USA or civil actions, that would seem to be a good reason, even if a land-owner only asked you to shoot a few groundhogs, yotes or similar varmints.

I would think as others have already suggested that the main benefit would be to lower the noise that the rifle puts out. There by anoying neighbors less and thus receiving less visits from the police. I also think that there could possibly be a balance issue if the right supressor is chosen. It could help or hut depending on how your rifle is set up.

I read somewhere (and i dont have the link, so screw the reliability of my post, lol) anyways. i read somewhere that some FEderal COps or whatever were gettin suppressors cause of OSHA requirements that the noise level of your working environment cant exceed a certain db rating, and that ear protection would get in the way of their duties.
