Sunglasses or safety glasses are useful when shooting fire arms because little pieces of unburnt (but burning!) powder and sometimes tiny slivers of lead or copper exit barrels and recievers at high speed, and can curl around and hit you in the eye. You often get powder residue on your hands, fore arms, and on your face and neck if you have an open shirt and bring the weapon close to your face to aim. Sometimes I would come back from the firing range to find a tiny piece of metal stuck in my cheek about 2 inches from my eye. A real incentive to wear those safety glasses. They also keep out some dust, and help cut glare, if your attackers happen to be between you and the sun. Also look cool.
