i've fired a DE 50 cal no hearing protection before

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

yea just take your mufflers off and cruise by their house at 3 or 4 am in 1st gear and redlining it lol

I'm guessing Rhonney is more concerned about the fact he almost blew his junk off being a dumbass.

Probably, it's supposedly the same as the scenario as when you're in a stand of people yelling, you'd go deaf, if you yell along with them, you won't.

Yeah, good ole Rhonney doesn't have a leg to stand on in court.

You're retarded, lol

(Actually I have too, in the desert, I'd never do it in even a mildly enclosed area) shot more .44 Magnum... That was bad enough...

yea when i did the 50 no muffs it was on a friends farm. we did this big controlled shoot with a astro van we had donated. one guy we know did like a class/live shoot on vehicle situations. also showing weak spots and strengths of different areas of the car for "informational" purposes lol

then we turned it to swiss cheese once finished

SouthArk370Z · 08-08-2013, 02:32 PM

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).

I've got a .40 with a 3" barrel, that must be deafening as well...

Details?? something tells me it will be an interesting story

I got kicked pretty good right in the ear in my last fight, lost the hearing for a bit (ear drum stressed) but thankfully all came back...having that underwater feeling in the ear sucks

I carry a fully loaded xd9mm subcompact at all times.

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

Tazicon · 08-08-2013, 02:38 PM

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, 02:39 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.
