Is it "rule of cool" (crawling around on the floor clutching your ears...isn't), or just that Hollywood scriptwriters haven't shot a gun in their lives?

Yes.

Guns are plot items. Every gun rule is thrown out the window if it interferes with the plot. Same can be said about cars and the human body.

There was one episode of Criminal Minds I distinctly remember because it touched on this issue. One of them had an assault rifle in an SUV and another character basically says something along the lines of don't fire that weapon in here. Only time I've ever seen a TV show anknowledge the issue of firing a weapon inside a car.

Plot armor protects their ears and eyes. If it's not convenient to the plot it won't be included.

Warning: TVTropes link. Look for "Averted in."

You mean like going deaf? or getting spattered with powder and pieces of lead and brass?

Mainly the former, but the latter is also a concern.

If you shoot, you also know that recoil never is an issue, and these guys (gals) sometimes fire hundreds of rounds without the barrel doing its typical upswing due to recoil. AND...you see small women firing 12 gauge shotguns without recoil etc.

An exception to this is the movie Cop Land. It comes into play as part of the plot though. Outside of this, I dont think I've seen another example.
