Toys to a gun fight
Posted by: SayUncleHey, you know what’s fun? Shooting people randomly with a paintball gun. Well, until, fearing for their life, someone shoots back. You know, with a real gun. Fortunately for the youths, Darwin did not get his say as the guy who returned fire was hit in the eye and missed.

Where does it state that the guy who was hit is a deputy?

Whoops. Misread that. Corrected.

I’ve got an advantage, in that I have to wear corrective lenses which also provide some degree of eye protection, so I don’t have to think much about safety glasses (although I do wear industrial safety glasses with side shields when on the range).
I realize it’s completely foreign to those with 20-20 vision to do so, but there’s value to putting the safety glasses on when picking up a gun. I keep a pair of Caldwell electronic muffs on the nightstand; it’s taken me years to train myself to put them on when I grab my glasses and gun to check something out, but it’s now a habit. Safety glasses can become the same habit, and as this instance proves, there’s value in doing so. Not that I’m advocating better vision will allow plugging the errant teenager with a paintball gun, but some day it won’t be an errant teenager with a paintball gun.
