A new government effort to map hearing loss in America inspired us to dig deeper, revealing a surprising explanation for the partisan gap in hearing loss.
I used to sell guns as part of my retail job, and because of the kind of store it was we got plenty of people from all over the political spectrum, and most of them I knew well enough know the majority had no moral qualms with firearms.
It was always a certain political view that were the ones most vocal about their gun ownership, and how earpro was for pussies.
Well I guess I’m soft and smooth, because I will happily use everything in my PPE arsenal to make sure everyone around me is as safe as possible at all times. As everyone should when firearms are involved.
Plugs, muffs, I like to use a rubber pad just because the impulse of the shots aren’t great for your joints and I’m getting to the age where my joints are starting to feel ways about stuff. Legally acquired sound suppression.
Shooting glasses that cover the sides too. I had a 22lr casing bounce off the range wall and hit me in the side of the eyelid because the glasses I had on didn’t wrap around the sides.
Safety is about more than the “basic rules of gun safety” that every person who touches a gun should know.
The fact that some people genuinely think that wearing something to keep themselves from going deaf makes them “weak” just makes me wonder how such people can figure out how to breathe and walk at the same time, let alone vote.
2x on the plugs and muffs. Depends on my glasses the muffs don’t get a perfect seal. And I swapped a limb saver buttstock on my skeet 1301 and my god did it make a difference in comfort.
