I have been around a while but not posted.
I have been shooting guns in one form or another for over 40 years. The other day someone made a statement (or recommendation) that when training (any firearms training) I/you/everybody should not wear ear protection. They said this is "to get your ears used to the noise."
I have never heard such a thing. And it goes against all knowlege I have about hearing loss and loud noises especially gun fire.
Am i just the idiot here? If so, can someone on here please explain to me what I don't seem to be able to understand?
Thanks in advance for answering what i believe to be a "stupid question."
