There is a real difference between the amount of lead one hunter will shoot and that that a gun club will shoot over a year, five years or ten years time. A decent gun club will drop tons of shot each year. I doubt that I have shot a ton of shot in my lifetime hunting. I think that your response to the situation was very reasonable and wish more would use good, common sense, like you have.

I refuse to call Democrats commies or socialist. If I were trying to be funny I could say that was because I respected the commies or socialist. Truth is that many family or freinds grew up as Democrats and feel that they have no place to go now that the party has moved away from them and their views. There is no place in the Democrat party for a Conservative, God fearing, gun toting, sane, normal, hard working person. If you can not claim that atleast three of the above do not apply you can not be in the modern Democratic party. You need to be a victom, whiney or stubron as hell to stay a Democrat these days if you are most or all of the above.

The Republican party is almost as bad, just the reverse side of the same coin. I vote each election because I think that if you do not vote you have no right to BITCH. Many times I have to hold my nose and vote for the slightly lesser of two evils.

Lead levels may not all be coming from the gun club. Like Iron and Calcium, Lead can be from natural sources. I have one farm with such high Sulfer and Iron levels that well water is not fit to drink. Safe but not fit to drink. Others have extreme rust or iron problems, nirtires or other metals in the water. Looked at a ranch one time out west and was told that lead levels and some other heavy metal was in the water in high levels. I suspect it had been a reclaimed mine site perhaps. Passed on that land and bought more closer to home.
