There are lead warnings on every box and every safety manual but you just can't fix stupid.

I've never thought about it but, I don't like dirty hands so I guess I'm already doing it. I don't reload so that takes that extra aspect out.

I do wear gloves moving the lead weights around for the racecar though. I still think it's dumb that that's still the go to for weights where we race.
