An important pro-hunting bill will be on third reading this afternoon in the Arizona Senate. House Bill 2728, introduced by state Representative David Gowan (R-30), would allow hunters in Arizona to use lawfully-possessed suppressors (also referred to as silencers) on firearms for hunting. HB 2728 has already passed in the House by a 42 to 14 vote on February 28. Passage in the state Senate is the final legislative hurdle to be cleared before going to Governor Jan Brewer for her approval.
Enactment of HB 2728, would give hunters the option to use lawfully owned sound suppressors while hunting game. Currently, more than half of the states across the country allow hunters to use suppressors while hunting and three other states (Oklahoma, Georgia and Texas) are currently considering similar legislation or are changing their hunting regulations to allow their use. It’s time that hunters in Arizona are able to enjoy the same opportunities available to residents in more than half of the country. For more information on firearms and suppressors, click here.
