I am untrained with guns, plan to take classes at some time in the future.
That said, what is the point of this measure?
Are they saying that ‘yes’ we should have access to ear protection when using certain guns, (perhaps at a range).
Okay, fine, makes perfect sense to me. So then go ahead and use the ear protection. Is there a law in place that is preventing this step?
“Silencers”....
This law is about suppressors, not ear plugs.
The first thing to be done in any hearing protection program is to reduce the noise level by implementing engineering controls. Ear plugs are OK but typically only reduce the level of the sound to your ears by 15-22 decibels. Supressors can reduce the level by 15-43 decibels.
