SUPPRESSOR  SHOOT

Ever wondered what shooting a suppressed gun was all about?  Ever wanted to try out a suppressed shotgun, high-powered rifle or handgun?  Here’s your chance, thanks to the American Suppressor Association and Silencerco!

Learn the facts about suppressors and try your hand at shooting them at an upcoming event at the DeWitt County Sportsman’s Club near Clinton, IL on October 17th.  The event will run from 9am to 11:30am and we will have lots of Silencerco “cans” on hand – for rifles, pistols and yes Virginia, even shotguns.  Learn what mufflers for guns can do and what they can’t.

Roughly forty states allow civilians to own and use suppressors, and almost as many allow their use in hunting.  It’s time for Illinois to join the vast majority of states.  It’s the right thing to do.

Media members are encouraged to attend and get to shoot for free.  Everyone else:  there’s a nominal fee to shoot.  Net proceeds will be split between Guns Save Life and the DeWitt County Sportsmen’s Club.

The public is encouraged to attend.  A FOID card is not necessary to shoot, so long as you’re otherwise eligible to receive a FOID card.

This event is sponsored by Guns Save Life, the DeWitt County Sportsman’s Club, and the Firearms Technical Group.

  1. If they’re illegal in Illinois, how can you have them on property? Not trying to stir anything. Legitimately curious.
