Indoor Firing Ranges (as well as Outdoor Ranges) Can be a Danger to Shooters

October 20, 2016 by Range Defender Leave a Comment

 

 

Most gun ranges do their part to try keeping the firing range lead cleaned, and there are some things each shooter should do during and after they’re done at the range. 

 

These include: 

  • Keep an eye on the range’s ventilation yourself. If your gun is smoking or the air doesn’t smell clean after a few seconds after firing it, immediately inform management. You can always return on another day if you must.
  • Wear plastic gloves when picking up your spent casings. Once finished, wash your hands with cold water and soap. This way you’re removing any lead particles while keeping your skin’s pores closed (with cold water) so your body doesn’t absorb them.
  • Don’t drink or eat inside the range. Remember, lead particles are airborne and they’ll land on your food.
  • Never smoke inside a shooting range because this is similar to what happens when you eat. However, with cigarettes you’re actually inhaling the lead into your lungs.
  • Change your clothes and shoes as soon as possible so you don’t pass the lead particles on to other people or your pets.
