Existing law makes it a felony to possess a silencer in the state, punishable by imprisonment in county jail or by a fine not to exceed $10,000 or by both that fine and imprisonment. This bill would delete the felony prohibition on possession of a silencer and would authorize an individual in lawful possession of a device that will silence, suppress, or muffle the sound or natural report of a firearm when the firearm is discharged to use that device to hunt a bird, mammal, fish, reptile, or amphibian for which the individual is licensed if the firearm to which the device is attached is lawfully possessed.
