Most primers still have lead in them; that's one of the primary sources of lead exposure when shooting. And she can't control what the other shooters use, so it really doesn't make much difference what she uses.hartcreek said:If she uses proper hygiene and jacketed bullets she will not have lead exposure problems especially at an outdoor range.
Wow. I'm simply amazed at some of your reasoning here. Like Sam1911 said, it's risk vs. reward: There is definitely a risk of lead and noise exposure to the baby, but it's unclear even to the experts how big a risk that is. But the reward is extremely low: Her chances of needing a gun in the next four months are very, very small. And we're not even talking about her carrying a gun, were simply talking about her taking a basic pistol course. So here there is probably a risk, and there's also very little reward.hartcreek said:What are you going to do next prohibit her from driving her car because of all the automotive exhaust that she may be exposed to...and are you going to be at her beck and call so she does not have to stop at a filling station.
Playing the radio loud probably isn't good, but do you honestly believe that it would be worse than the noise of sustained gunfire?hartcreek said:The lady probably is disturbing the fetus more with the radio station and her car radio cranked up.
Maybe if you asked a doctor he would report you for endangering woman and child and guns might be taken away. I know it sounds crazy but so did a lot of things 20 years ago that are in place now but doctors are now being used to gather mental condition of patients that own gunsI'd have her ask her doctor NOT forum 'experts'.
Nothing like a bunch of guys with no medical training and any medical studies telling a pregnant woman not to get firearms training and not to worry about being a victim of a violent crime.
Are you simply trying to get a rise out of people? I can't imagine you really believe a word you're saying, so I'm beginning to take a dim view of what sounds like lowbrow chain-yanking.Nothing like a bunch of guys with no medical training and any medical studies telling a pregnant woman not to get firearms training and not to worry about being a victim of a violent crime.

Hope she had a suppressor already or the kid will be a few months old by the time paperwork comes through.
