Straight Talk with Bill Frady 4/7/26 Hour 2-Do you need hearing protection when using a suppressor

Do you need hearing protection when using a suppressor ? In the movies they call a suppressor a silencer. They are not silent. Even if you are using a suppressor, it is better to shoot with ear protection. Suppressors make guns quieter but not quiet to the point where you can’t damage your ears. A Secret Service Agent assigned to Jill Biden accidentally shot himself in the buttocks. He used the flashlight on his gun and while putting it back into its holster, he accidentally pulled the trigger.
