An Illinois resident has filed suit against a shooting range, alleging he suffered from diminished hearing after the range failed to provide him with adequate protection.
. .
Owoseni blames Belleville Indoor Shooting Range for contributing to his injuries, saying it negligently failed to provide adequate ear protection, failed to provide adequate sound proofing, failed to keep the shooting range free from defects and failed to warn Owoseni it was allowing another patron to fire a loud gun.

His ear fell off???
Bad attitude. He didn’t really want to be there.
Ears, Eyes, range is hot.
A shitass who was just looking for a lawsuit. What sort of hearing protection does the military provide our soldiers in combat? Anyone interested in their hearing and anywhere caring about their hearing health will take steps like bringing their own to the shooting range. Screw him. He should be charged with premeditated malicious litigation for profit.
I’ve heard of ‘shooting off your mouth’, but ‘shooting off your ear’?.........
Another loser playing lawsuit lotto. Every shooting range I go has you sign a release saying you acknowledge shooting is inherently dangerous and you release the range from all liability. Most shooting ranges I’ve seen rent pretty good ear protection, maybe not the best but pretty good. I’d guess he either didn’t have them on or didn’t have them on right. I hope he gets nothing and has to defendant’s court costs.
I wonder if it’s this guy:

Funny that lawsuits would come up when you Google that name.
I smell an Obama donor.
When he found out they offered no hearing protection why didn’t he turn around and walk out???
Just as it is mine when I'm using power tools on home carpentry projects.
Every range I have been to warns and demands all who at the range whether they are on the line or not use at all times hearing protection and safety glasses.
At all times and I have seen guys who weren’t getting the message ejected from the range.
You don’t incur that kind of damage from just one visit to the range. Hearing loss is cumulative. I’ve experienced it from the old days when, if anything was used for hearing protection, it consisted of cotton balls. Now when trying to sleep at night, the constant whistling and chirping sounds I hear remind me of nights in the jungle. I just wish somebody would answer that darned phone...

Another democrat looking for a free ride.
Oh for the love of Christ....this is news?
And relating to a guy with a Nigerian name, too. What are the odds?
Let me guess, another student “from Kenya”? What is this, a law school project?
