Even with a suppressor, a 9mm is still fairly loud and requires hearing protection. Source: I've fired several different firearms with suppressors.

Have you fired one inside a home that is kind of like the proximity of those homes to each other. I feel it would be somewhat hard to hear that in another house, especially if asleep but I have never done that so I could be way off.

No, I have not. Only at an indoor shooting range.

To my understanding, no. A hate crime is typically defined as occurring when someone is targeted for being part of a group -- singled out and killed for being a person of color or LGBTQ+, etc. -- not just when someone is killed because someone hates them.

I thought so, but wondered if there was a provision for targeting women. Most female murder victims are killed by males.

Maybe women should be a protected class against male violence.
