I was just wondering what everyone thinks the pros and cons to wearing hearing protection in a HD sitiuation would be. Right now my primary HD weapon is a .357 magnum SP101. After reading many threads over at TFL about the .357 and hearing loss I have starting keeping a pair of ear plugs alongside my revolver in the gunguard. I'm worried though about being able to hear whats going on, where the BG is at etc.
Do you think there could be any legal ramifications if I was forced to shoot someone and was wearing the plugs? Prosecuter might suggest that my assailant was wanting to surrender but I couldn't hear him. Who knows?
I would like to have a pair of electronic earmuffs but my budget is extremely tight. I think I'm going to go today and buy a pair of baffle type plugs. Supposed to be able to hear normal conversation but blocks out loud noises.
Any and all opinions on the subject would be greatly appreciated. This is my first online post ever, and I just want to say I think the board is great. You guys have really created a wealth of information. Thank you all in advance.
