Yes, I have shot without earpro. In an emergency you don't have time to consider earpro, if you have time to put it in, then it's not an emergency. Is it scary? Not really. Adrenaline is a tricky thing, and it effects everyone differently, so no promises on that. As far as damage, I have ringing in my ears, but I'm still breathing and that's what really matters. Staying alive is more important than a little ringing. That being said, if you're casually shooting wear your earpro, and with any luck you won't have any emergencies.
