Why should you wear ear and eye protection when shooting?

To improve accuracy
To comply with the law
To prevent injury from recoil
To protect against noise and debris

The correct answer is: To protect against noise and debris

Eye and ear protection are essential when shooting for safety reasons. While improved accuracy (option A) may certainly be a benefit of wearing proper protection, it is not the main reason for its importance. Similarly, while certain laws (option B) may require the use of protective gear, it should still be worn regardless of legal requirements. The main reason for wearing ear and eye protection when shooting is to prevent injury from the loud noise and potential debris or particles that can be emitted from a firearm during shooting. Without proper protection, these factors can cause serious harm to your eyes and ears. Therefore, it is crucial to wear ear and eye protection when shooting for your own safety.
