ATT will be automatically attached to your freshly printed license when you get your first registration certificate. You will also need the paper that the licence is attached to, it states, 'conditions cut out and carry with licence'. It's stupid.

Ear and eye protection. Gloves optional.

I will keep an eye out for for the conditions paper. I've noticed a few different comments along this line, today.

I do wear glasses (high index, not shatterproof though). I'll have to see how these, over-glasses protection, and ear muffs are going to work out for me. I suppose I can go to Cabelas and try some of their in-stock gear, and see if anything fits well.

I hadn't thought about gloves, but I expect to have a couple of revolvers. Might not be a bad idea to hands cleaner and more lead-free.

Gloves not ideal because it’s harder to feel the trigger and it’s not as safe as a result this is from a bunch of competition instructors that’s taught me. You can get lead off wipes if you’re worried.

That's interesting. I'm personally not worried about lead, but I have younger family and friends whom I would prefer to keep lead free. Thanks for bringing those wipes to my attention.

No problem! Because honestly unless you’re throwing away those gloves every practice you aren’t really preventing yourself from contacting lead just saying
