“You’ll Shoot Your Eye Out”

It’s a popular line we’ve heard hundreds of times from a classic holiday movie, but according to a recent study, it’s no joke. Health officials at Children’s Hospital in Columbus analyzed injury data for air rifles, paintball guns, bb and pellet guns dating back to 1990.
