MONTPELIER, VT – On January 26th, Rep. Doug Dubitsky (R-47) introduced House Bill 5522. This legislation, which has been referred to the Joint Committee on Environment, seeks to legalize the use of suppressors while hunting. If enacted, HB 5522 will bring Connecticut in line with the 40 states that currently allow hunters to use suppressors in the field.
Of the 42 states in which suppressor ownership is legal, Connecticut and Vermont are the only two that do not allow for their use in the field. Similar legislation, Rep. George Till’s (D – Chittenden) H.5, has been introduced in the Green Mountain State.
This is the fifth ASA-supported pro-suppressor bill to be introduced at the state level so far in 2021.
