    Do you have shooting glasses?

    Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

    Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)

    Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

    Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT

    I wear shooting glasses to protect my eyes. If my aim is a little off, it would be worse if something goes wrong and my eyes are damaged.

        Yes, the ejected cartridges fly all over the place hitting the head, nose, and the eyes. That's why I wear full eye protection.

          Yeah, Smith Pivlok lens set, they're nice but not as comfortable for extended use as my oakley flak jackets.

          Always wear eye and ear pro now, your body is expensive to fix.

          You should spend "crazy" money on hearing and eye pro.

            I use cheapo amber tint things I buy at Home Depot for like $15.

            I will never shoot without eye pro. Your gun might not blow up, but you can't necessarily control if your neighbor is some idiot who reloads and sneaks in a few extra grains of powder cuz "want my bullets to be EXTREME!"

                I ordered a set of Phoenix or Smith that has different colored tints and a low pro frames for ear pro. Though my fall backs have always been my oakly flak jackets. Just picked up some Oakley hallbrooks that being more like raybans I wouldnt trust with the more open sides from neighboring shooters.

                  Eye and hearing protection without fail.

                    I do have shooting glasses (though they're not exclusive to shooting). Rudy "Rydon".
                    Go to a match where lead bullet fragments and bits of bird shot are coming back at you from time to time and you quickly realize the value of good quality shooting/safety glasses.

                        Yes, many pairs. Eyepro is cheap, replacement eyes are not. Only a dumb redneck or hoodrat would shoot a gun without eye pro.

                              If you are too lazy to wear eyepro shooting, then you dont deserve eyes and nature will find a way to correct that oversight. Kinda like winning a Darwin award.
