Look at the ground of the parking places and hoods of cars just outside the metal target handgun range. There is lots of splashed lead flying back out through the firing line and onto the cars and pavement. So you have airborne lead, particulate and bigger solids. And the baby can't say if the ear protection is on correct. I would say not the wisest move.

So when your getting mugged you would rather bystanders "Mind their own business"?
Good to know. Extreme example yes but both can result in permanent injury. Just saying. |

Tell you what. Next time somebody is doing something with thier kids you feel is inappropriate, feel free to saunter on up and correct them. I'm sure that will go well.

He asked, I answered. Also, none of your business.

He didn't ask you specifically. You could of minded your own business and not said anything but instead you do the very thing that you are chastising him for.

I remember watching that video from China a few months ago where a young child got hit by a vehicle and was laying on the ground hurt while many people just walked by her. You sound like you would do the same thing. |

Some of you guys are WAY overdoing the lead-phobia. If you want to take extreme precautions, fine, but realize you're likely the victim of California brainwashing. I'm not saying lead is never a potential health issue, but I seriously doubt miniscule amounts of lead vapor at an open air range is an issue worthy of discussion. As far as the baby goes, the issue regarding hearing protection far outweighs any concern of lead poisoning IMO.

Did you grow up near a freeway back when it was legal to put lead in gas? Yes, lead is very harmful in small amounts to kid's brain development, French fries, not so much.

Just sounds like father and son bonding time... nothing wrong with that. Probably couldn't find a babysitter. Maybe he was giving his baby it's first lesson in gun safety like in that movie "Shoot 'Em Up". At least he didn't leave the baby in the hot car to suffocate. I've seen and heard of worse fathers. This guy is not so bad.

Here is an interesting study from the Center for Disease Control regarding both lead exposure and noise exposure to instructors and students at an outdoor range in California
It basically states that the lead levels were present in some areas but that it did not exceed safety levels. It did however say that earmuffs alone did not provide adequate hearing protection and that plugs should be used in conjunction with them. That being said, I would not bring a newborn to the range because of cross contaminating of lead. All the dad needs to do is touch contaminated surfaces and then the baby's pacifier and now it is exposed. Here is another article from the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry that tells of the dangers of lead exposure in children who have rapidly developing nervous systems. http://www.aacap.org/cs/root/facts_f...n_and_behavior I really need a life.

This is exactly how the antis are gonna get back at us.
I won't be surprised if/when they sic Child Protective Services on the father and he never sees his kid again. "Control the children, and you'll eventually win".

I grew up eating lead shot in game, and chewed on lead .177 pellets when we were shooting our air guns (all the time) in my youth. The amount of airbourne lead exposure at an open air range has got to be ridiculously small. As for the noise, I'd be more careful about that. I took my Lab, when he was a puppy, to a trapshooting club to get him acclimated to gunfire. I only got as close as I felt comfortable without my muffs. Worked like a charm. Puppy went from terrified to ho-hum in 5 minutes, then went home. He was retrieving Doves in the field before he was 6mo old. Best dog/friend I ever had. Had to put him to sleep at 13yo this week due to degenerative myelopathy.

Ummm, they said that the lead levels were acceptable so I'm not sure where you are going with that?

That is child abuse as far as I am concerned. What an arse of a dad.

That's for adults. What's acceptable for small kids is much lower. We are talking about a kid losing IQ points for a lifetime, and we have a thread 1/2 full of MYOB

Somehow I missed where that was the only way possible to poison the child with lead

It's not, but it ain't gonna happen by just carrying him around an open air range for a day, or two, or even three. Get real.
