1.1 Protect Your Eyes and Ears
Always wear safety glasses that meet the requirements of American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z87.1 and ear plugs or “earmuff” type
protectors whenever you are shooting. Always make certain that persons
close to you are similarly protected. Unprotected eyes may be injured by
powder, gas, carbon residue, lubricant, metallic particles, or similar debris
that may emanate occasionally from any firearm in normal use. Without ear
protection, repeated exposure to shooting noise may lead to cumulative,
permanent hearing loss.
