When should you use safety gear such as eye and ear protection?

Only when shooting at a gun range
When cleaning your firearm
Whenever shooting or near someone shooting
Only when instructed to do so

The correct answer is: Whenever shooting or near someone shooting

Using safety gear such as eye and ear protection is vital whenever shooting or when you are near someone who is shooting. This practice is essential for protecting your vision and hearing from potential hazards associated with firearms. During shooting, loud noises can lead to permanent hearing damage, and projectiles or gun powder can pose significant risks to your eyes. It's important to always prioritize safety, not just in controlled environments like gun ranges but also anywhere firearms are being used. Ensuring that you wear the appropriate safety gear in all these scenarios significantly reduces the risk of injury.
