This week we welcome Dave Matheny, CEO of Silencer Shop. Silencer Shop is the largest silencer distributor in the U.S. Dave used his background as software engineer to streamline the silencer purchasing process, navigating the regulatory hurdles with a technology based approach. Dave discusses how his son being born with impaired hearing got him interested in silencers. He wanted to pass along his love for hunting and firearms to his son, but needed to protect his remaining hearing. Dave quickly learned that there had to be a better way to purchase a silencer, and Silencer Shop was born.
With over 2.5 million veterans suffering from tinnitus, and countless more dealing with hearing loss, silencers may be the answer for protecting our hearing, while still enjoying hunting and target shooting. Ninety-five percent of hunters and thirty-eight percent of target shooters do not wear hearing protection while shooting, often worsening the effects of hearing loss. Silencers provide that protection while allowing users to observe and enjoy their surroundings.
We discuss the silencer purchasing process, tax stamps, and ATF regulations. We also talk about how some of the recent Supreme Court decisions will impact silencer and firearms purchasing. Dave provides a simple roadmap to purchasing a silencer, while dispelling some of the myths surrounding what a silencer does and does not do. So turn off John Wick 4 (or at least pause it for an hour) and enjoy this weeks episode.
