Traveling with a suppressed pistol

[Wyo]

I have a similar setup, only mine is an SBR. That opens up a whole 'nother can 'o worms when it comes to traveling. Thus, mine, suppressor and SBR, remain at home in the safe when I travel.

It's too bad it seems to be this way. I have a similar setup on an SBR and if I'm traveling in Wyoming or Montana, which is mostly where I travel, and if I want to carry it (loaded, of course), I carry it. It's legal and the police are not a problem. Half of them probably have a setup just like it. I know we're an outlier but it sure is nice not to have to put up with that kind of ridiculous hassle.

I recently bought a suppressor for a Ruger MKIV. In studying the regs for flying with it, it seems no more complicated than flying with an unsuppressed handgun. I'm thinking of taking it with me next time I visit my brother in Virginia.

He used to shoot on his rural property, but as more neighbors have arrived he is reluctant to disturb them. I think a suppressed pistol — they're legal in Virginia, of course — would be just the ticket for him.

The platform mentioned has a lot of practical appeal, but if you end up in a judicial proceeding with the usually uninformed lawyers/judge/jurors, there is a real good chance that the image will be counted against you no matter how stupid the argument is.
