Let's clear something up: suppressors, sometimes called silencers (though they don't make your gun magically silent like James Bond), are all about safety and courtesy, not turning you into Rambo. They reduce the gunshot noise to a more manageable level, protecting your hearing and that of your fellow hunters (and maybe even spooking the wildlife a little less).
Important Note: Owning a suppressor in Georgia requires following federal regulations through the ATF. It's a process, but totally doable.
