When should you wear eye and ear protection?

Only when shooting at a range
Whenever handling firearms
Only when shooting larger caliber firearms
Whenever shooting or observing

The correct answer is: Whenever shooting or observing

It is important to wear eye and ear protection whenever shooting or observing firearms, because even smaller calibers can produce loud noises and eject hot gases that can cause eye injuries. This safety measure should not be limited to just handling firearms at a range or shooting larger caliber firearms, as those situations are not the only times when eye and ear protection is necessary.
