I dowt that is going to happen from that one instance, and realistically you can not use your radio proficiently with ear plugs in, nore do you have time to wait to install them. I am sure at the range these days EP is enforced, same as i do at work, And like them i have a ear testing truck come once a year to measure my employees hearing. have for past 6 years so they can see if they are suffering any hearing loss. Same for eye protection, WARE IT, its not an option.
He wasn't playing around.
I didn't even think about that. I thought it was a good idea to shoot a coyote from my garage door with an 5.56. I smoked it it but my buddy & I heard ringing i our ears for an hour
I would love to and someday intend to live somewhere remote enough where I would be able to shoot at vermin from a location at my home.....not that I would do it very often.
Its not often but when you start seeing seeing/hearing coyotess regularly it's bad. I try to get the alpha, but usually if you pop a few they disappear. If you dont they'll start coming in the day time and smaller pets will start disappearing.
I can imagine.....I found a possum in my trashcan this morning.That was my encounter with wildlife....no firearm was required.
