There should be somewhere in the published literature some study about lead
levels and those exposed at a firing range.  I would think that it is minimal
for the person who only goes there occasionally as opposed to daily.

It may be pertanent to point out a case I remeber from the lay press several
years ago.  A company that made or assembled batteries or cars or something
that had to do with lead exposure had a policy that excluded potentially
fertile women from working in that area of the plant.  The company thought
that they were covering their hindends by preventing these women from
exposure to lead levels that could harm the developing infants.  Apparently
they thought their was a different exsposure threshhold for pregant women
verses men and sterile women.  Anyway some women took the company to court
because they felt that they were prevented from job advancement because they
couldn't work in that area.  The rest of the story as I recall is that they
won and the company had to change it's policy/worksite to reduce the levels
for all workers.  Sorry I don't remeber where or when this occurred but I'm
confident my memory of the above facts is for the most part correct.
