Everything on SilencerResourceCenter.com — including but not limited to text, information, data, photos, format, and graphics — is copyrighted by Tradecraft Press LLC, all rights reserved. If you want to use something on the website, please ask. We’ll probably say yes if we are given proper attribution. Make sure that you have our permission in writing, or you’ll end up feeding our voracious attorney. Our attorney, who is rather gruff at the best of times, is as loyal and protective as a team of Siberian Huskies. When riled, he’s as fierce as a Grizzly bear defending her cubs. There’s an old Yukon proverb about never poking a sleeping Grizzly with a stick. Please walk softly in bear country.

We are obliged to point out that opinions expressed on this website are those of individual authors or correspondents, and are not necessarily the opinions of the Silencer Resource Center, SilencerResourceCenter.com or Tradecraft Press LLC, its shareholders, officers, staff, families, friends, or shirt-tail relations. None of the aforementioned accepts any liability for the use or misuse of information on this website or published or sold by the Silencer Resource Center or Tradecraft Press. Keep the lawyers hungry (present acquaintances accepted; we are not altogether Shakespearian in our world view, and we will acknowledge under cross-examination that we know a number of most admirable and companionable attorneys).

Never ask us to do anything that is illegal. We are all honorable folk who obey the letter as well as the spirit of the law. Never ask us for information that is confidential, proprietary, or restricted. We can only write or talk about a small portion of what we know because much of the information we have at our fingertips cannot be put into the public domain. We keep our confidences. The Silencer Resource Center is only interested in the lawful use of silencers by qualified civilian shooting enthusiasts and armed professionals.

Here’s our world view in a nutshell. Always do the right thing. Pay it forward. Both are among the oldest Alaskan traditions and form the foundation of Alaskan culture, although they were never verbalized, but rather understood deep in one’s bones. Act responsibly and respectfully. Play well in groups. Always treat others as you would have them treat you. Yet the same wise man who made the latter suggestion also admonished, “He who hath not a sword, let him sell his cloak and buy one.” The yin and yang of that couplet is not only amusing, it is sound advice. Finally — above all — remember that dark, unsweetened chocolate lowers cholesterol. Ain’t science grand?
