My gun club is located in the watershed for the water supply for the Baltimore Metro region. Bill Murphy is familiar with the property. We lease the property from the city of Baltimore. The fields border Loch Raven resevoir which is the impoundment of gadzillions of gallons of water for distribution to the aforementioned areas. We deposit tons of lead pellets into this environment and have it regularly mined and then have the water table environmentally tested for any leaching of good old Pb. Guess what? Club has been in existence since the early 1950's and they have yet to find any problem with Pb in the environment. Nothing, nada, nyet. Someone tell these Einsteins that Pb is inert- much like their brains and common sense. I own rental properties and have to have them tested for lead paint. Why, you ask? Because they the pinheads in the Govt. are worried that some little crumb cruncher will eat flaky paint chips and develop brain damage. I don't know about you but one of my favorite snacks when I was a kid after we ran out of Twinkies was to eat paint chips. You know, you really can't make this crap up. Kevin , I'm right there with you.
