KB, I am sure you are speaking only for yourself and wouldn't be so brash as to think everyone, not your age, should follow that mantra. Though a fellow I know says something simular when he goes to buy his lottery tickets. I have often thought if I just knew for sure when I was going to die I might find I'm wealthier than I think. The part about steel being poison, you'll have to explain to me if throwing caution to the wind is the call. But seriously speaking, steel maybe the only practical thing to keep many people shooting shotguns. Hey it could be battery powered cars more than government regulations that eliminate lead shot! But to say other non-toxics are all there is has no more rationale than saying you shouldn't be allowed to hunt unless your gun cost atleast $10,000. and your white. I of course wish you such good health that you must eat your words.
