[QUOTE="winmag, post: 358623, member: 22166"] As a firm beliver in ''COMMON SENSE'' safety, I can appreciate why some people wear them. muzzle break etc. and A round from the handgun range striking a person on the rifle range....holy bleep! I doubt if Id shoot there again untill proper berms etc were in place. But thats kinda my point. My dues and volunteer svc. to a club should go for maintenance,up keep and range time for a well kept and safe place to shoot. I dont need the GESTAPO, telling me what Ill wear when I shoot my own rifles and guns. Common sense says always wear ear protection because hearing damage can and WILL happen if you dont. I also move 2 or three lanes away from anyone with a break or pack up and go home if theres no room. again common sense. But mandatory eye protection kinda goes hand in hand with ''lead-free'' bullets only in California. What a crock! Too many lawyers, not enuf common sense. I f a person feels safer wearing them great, go ahead. But I for one refuse to pay dues to a club that MANDATES it. If Im in a situation that ''requires'' them like grinding steel at odd angles Ill do it till they fog up then take a braek and un fog them and repeat.... My nose has been broken so many times that Any glasses sit funny on my head, and get in the way when I shoot, and fog up constantly and are more of a distraction and pain in the butt than theyre worth. Combined with my mutt/heins57 heritage, I have some native blood mixed in there so I have high cheek bones and a long narrow face wich when combined with a very crooked nose bone, only widen the gap thats supposed to be closed off by glasses.
