Lead ammo ban for youth under 21 HB 1346
« on: January 30, 2019, 12:07:24 PM »
My son shoots competitively using smallbore rifles (.22) This would effectively ban all youth shooting, period. (look at the full language of the bill and think about how you would be able to use "non-lead" .22 ammunition.  They are having a hearing for it this Friday at 10am.

Please Comment before Friday. (link provided) Youth Rifle clubs have strict protocols about lead safety already. My son has been shooting for 4 yrs and he has not had any increase in lead levels. I have his blood checked specifically for this reason. IMO this is an attempt to limit ammo and nothing else.

Sounds like they are using kids to open the door and likely plan on expanding it once the law is in place.

saw something weird this weekend.  Must of been from 1639.   Three guys in Bimart.   One was buying shells, and pidgeons, another buying shells, another standing in line behind.  She wanted ID on all three.   She refused to sell eventhough the guy under 21 wasnt buying anything?     :dunno:



so if Im in the store with my kid, does that mean I cant buy?   Just weird.    The lady acted like a Hillary and even called her supervisor to back her up.

I don’t agree with the bill, but there is the exemption for you to be able to buy the lead ammo and give it to your kid, so the only change is that your son couldn’t go buy it himself.

No, he already can't buy it himself. The change is no one except the parent could provide ammo. Clubs often supply ammo for their youth shooters. This bill would make that a fine-able offense. Or to loan a brick to another shooter who ran out....you could be fined. Oh and don't forget the random unscheduled inspections by the Dept. of Health, in which  the bill doesn't really specify are inspections of ranges or of your young shooters gear bag.

I had this happen, my stepson is 14, but looks older and nothing like me in the slightest. I'm 32 and have a baby face. Had to escalate to a manager and get a little loud before it was all said and done.

Did they finally sell to you?

I was just telling a co worker about it and she told me they refused to sell her husband a knife.  He  was there with his son (12) and he was picking out a knife with his giftcard.  An associate saw him hand the giftcard to his Dad.  They refused to sell it.   I guess this is a  :jacked: but with these  :mor:

Limit/ban youth opportunities with firearms= Less interest as they get older= less firearm ownership in the future= easier to get all firearms and ammunition banned permanently= Goal.

From their perspective, the problem that exists is that you a) own a firearm and b) deposit lead into the environment.
