I was reading about how the EU is thinking of reducing the lead used in ammunition because it’s polluting the environment. I wonder if regular lead exposure at the firing range is addling people’s brains.

I’m a Two Factor Auth supporter, but I don’t feel particularly angry at the moment…

As a 2FA supporter, I get a bit addled when the time sync isn’t working properly and my discord login won’t accept the code

You’ve never had to support the implementation of 2fa in an office full of corporate workers then?

Indoor ranges get checked for lead exposure for staff, who are exposed to far more lead dust than customers. Unless the ventilation system is not adequate, lead exposure is not an issue at indoor gun ranges.

And even outdoor ranges sometimes have large ventilation fans that blow across the firing lane.

Source: I go target shooting at one.

Lead exposure from leaded gasoline gave us modern merica.

Most ammunition, especially ammo used at a range, are copper jacketed. There is no exposure to lead when handling most ammo.

No I doubt the lead is doing noticeable damage.
