On our ranges, eye and ear protection are mandatory. I'm not sure if it's a club thing, driven by liability concerns, or a matter of state law. I really don't care where it originates. These rules are clearly posted in literally dozens of places. They have been clearly explained to anyone who has gained access. And, in this case, these young men were clearly very much aware of typical range rules and etiquette. They equally clearly felt that they were above all of that, and that others would go out of their way to accommodate them. Maybe it's a generational thing. Older guys, even FNG's, seem to be far more able to follow the simple rules we both post and drill into them before allowing access.
