Personally I won't lose one minute of sleep if you have one or not.

Ive been shooting awhile myself and didnt use one for years. Thats the problem with guys who have been shooting a long, long, long time. They tend to get stuck in the old school way of thinking. As far as Im concerned there is only advantages when using one and no drawbacks. So why not use one.
