OK! Who shot themselves in the leg?!?!

Please, please, please, do NOT be using firearms without hearing protection. Not even to fire off just one or two rounds every now and then. The damage is cumulative. You may not do much damage with one or two shots but you do some damage and the damage is permanent. There is really no need to get used to the bang of your gun. In an emergency you won't notice it. You will lose some hearing but I'm not gonna recommend stopping to put in earplugs when being attacked.

OK. I'll get off my soapbox. Thanks for listening (if you still can heehee).

Why can I see someone doing that?

I only refrain from wearing it when hunting deer. Rabbit, I'll wear plugs, or at least one

I wouldn't bother. You only get so much hearing, and it doesn't grow back. Save it in case you have to do it for real sometime. Unless you want to borrow the .357 snubnose flamethrower and let me film the results.

I carry a fully loaded xd9mm subcompact at all times.

I drive so slow it pisses people off once I get through the gates of my community. I could never be seen and someone think I am going fast even with the cat back etc on my Z. Kids play out in the streets, people are out walking and riding bicycles. No way am I going to take one of them out.

Please understand, if someone took the time to write you a note, most likely you WERE driving like an a**. Slow it down! If you were just going a little too fast they wouldn't waste their time on it.

Chuck33079 · 08-08-2013, 01:39 PM

If I'm up in a deer stand, no reason not to put in plugs. Quail I only wear one. There's way too many rattlesnakes in the brush you're running through to be completely deaf.

I hope we can agree that attempting to use a gun in this situation was totally inappropriate.

Absolutely.

I had a set of Norton Sonic Ear Valves that worked great for me. Very little attenuation at normal sound levels but they close off when hit with an impulse. They lasted about 10 years. On the range, you could leave them in for normal conversation but they would kick in when a shot was fired. Still needed muffs for full protection with big guns but seemed to work well when used alone with .22s.

I've been shooting air rifles indoors lately and haven't replaced the NSEVs. If anyone sees a deal on them (or equiv), let me know.

Well, until someone outs this guy as a member here, or he comes in to try and defend himself, we don't have much else to do. It's not like we've got somebody arguing he was justified in his response.

FPenvy · 08-08-2013, 02:00 PM
