RickB,

So I take it then that you agree with the latency on updating the rulebook with regards to kneepads and any other unwritten rule. BTW, if we really want to keep the true tactical spirit, IDPA should also not require eye and ear protection since in real life you won’t be wearing those either.

But we all know that safety is important and that this is really a game since you are scored and timed and the BG’s don’t fire back. It’s my opinion that competitors should be allowed to take reasonable safety precautions like wearing Safety Glasses, Hearing Protection, and Knee Pads and even possibly elbow pads if the COF warrants it.
