| Can I hunt with a suppressor in NV? |
|
I inquired about this a few years ago. The answer was game animals, no, unprotected species (varmints) , yes. I was very specific in my question because i was tired of all the fudds telling me I can't shoot Jackrabbits with FMJs. FMJs, SBRs, SBSs, AOWs, MGs, suppressors, are all A-OK for varmints. Game animals have very specific rules, including minimum caliber. |

Please correct me if I missed it I'm actively searching for the NRS on using supressors...... I'm reading the whole NRS 501, 502, and 503 sections. |

NRS 503.150 Manner of hunting game birds or mammals.
1. Unless otherwise specified by Commission regulation, it is unlawful to hunt: (a) Any game bird or game mammal with any gun capable of firing more than one round with one continuous pull of the trigger, or with any full steel, full steel core, full metal jacket, tracer or incendiary bullet or shell, or any shotgun larger than number 10 gauge. (b) Big game mammals in any manner other than with a rifle, held in the hand, that exerts at least 1,000 foot-pounds of energy at 100 yards, or with a longbow and arrow which meet the specifications established by Commission regulation. (c) Small game mammals in any manner other than with a handgun, shotgun, rifle, longbow and arrow or by means of falconry. (d) Game birds with any rifle or handgun, or in any manner other than with a shotgun held in the hand, with a longbow and arrow or by means of falconry.

(g) Any big game mammal, except mountain lions, with a dog of any breed. 2. Nothing in this section prohibits the use of dogs in the hunting of game birds or small game mammals. [Part 2:101:1947; A 1949, 292; 1943 NCL § 3035.02]—(NRS A 1957, 175; 1959, 385; 1969, 1360; 1973, 671; 1991, 266) This is all I could find...... |

I found This
I don't know how up to date it is, and it doesn't mention Suppressors. |

FMJs, SBRs, SBSs, AOWs, MGs, suppressors, are all A-OK for varmints. Game animals have very specific rules, including minimum caliber. I would be interested in seeing where in the regulations it states this. |

I fired off another email asking for info and direction to the regs regarding hunting protected and unprotected species with Machine Guns, SBRs/SBSs, FMJs and suppressors. I will share when they respond. Maybe we can get the FUDDs to jump on board with suppressor big game hunts here in the next session

Is there a list, somewhere, of what counts as a game animal, and what counts as a varmint? This explains it: NDOW Hunting |

I do know that MG's are out. Do you know where the regulation or law is for this? READ 1 (a).... it's posted above. That's only for game animals though So non game animals with machine guns are OK right? Be VERY careful, such hunting did not work out well for Liem, one of our former NFA dealers from the 80's! He caught a .308 to the chest from one of his hunting buddies, fatal, conspiracy theories have been rife ever since. |

Fox, cats, mt lions all have seasons, regulations, and require you to have permits to target them. I would venture to GUESS that those would fall under game animals. ONLY MY OPINION, NOT FACT. |

Quoted: NRS 503.150  Manner of hunting game birds or mammals. 1.  Unless otherwise specified by Commission regulation, it is unlawful to hunt: (a) Any game bird or game mammal with any gun capable of firing more than one round with one continuous pull of the trigger, or with any full steel, full steel core, full metal jacket, tracer or incendiary bullet or shell, or any shotgun larger than number 10 gauge. So I guess that the Winchester 1200 where you can hold the trigger back and work the slide action where it fires upon returning to battery, is out? Actually, since any AR or autoloader is capable of firing more than one round in the event the firing pin is stuck protruding, I guess those are out too? And since the bullets I load are jacketed everywhere but the base, I guess those aren't full metal jackets? |

They are still considered FMJ and on the shotgun the feds consider racking the pump a separate action so you should be good to go. |

Suppressor hunting is fine in NV. There is no law against it, and I have an email here somewhere from an NDOW employee stating that it is allowed so long as you are legally in possession of the suppressor. I would be very greatful if you could find it and forward it on to me. |
