[ARCHIVED THREAD] - ammunition storage and risk of lead exposure?

Posted: 1/31/2006 7:05:26 PM EDT

would there be any reason why i shouldn't store ammunition in the room i sleep in? is there any possibility of lead exposure? i doubt i'd have any problems unless i'm actually shooting inside, but i'd like to see if anyone knows anything about this...

you should always go to MOPP-4 any time you are in the same room as anything containing lead. those who go to gun shops in anything less are in grave danger! TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND EMAIL EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!11!11eleven!!

The only exposed lead bullets that I have are .22 and they have a wax film coating them. I give you my money back guarantee that you'll be ok.

If sleeping in the same room that ammo is stored in was a health problem, I'd have been dead years ago.

You're not grating the ends of the bullets on your pizza are you?

The only danger is if the shit goes full auto and the ammo cans spin all of the way to the floor.

You mean I shouldn't be doing that after all?
