When should you wear eye and ear protection?

  1. Only when shooting indoors

  2. Only when shooting large caliber firearms

  3. At all times while shooting

  4. Only when required by the range officer

The correct answer is: At all times while shooting

Wearing eye and ear protection is necessary for all types of shooting, whether indoors or outdoors and regardless of the firearm being used. Both options A and B are incorrect as they limit the use of eye and ear protection to specific situations. Option D is also incorrect as it implies that the decision to wear protection is solely based on the range officer's requirement, rather than a safety precaution that should always be taken.
