A new study led by epidemiologists at Brown University found that among firearm owners, less safe storage was associated with higher blood lead levels in children.
While I agree with you to an extent, I bet many people who use gun safes properly are also mindful of cleaning themselves and their clothing after shooting.
…
Yeah, no one ever said they didn’t. Or that any group was the same.
My point was that storage method didn’t matter.
Any correlation is likely because someone who buys a gun and only plans to touch it “when they need it” are going to likely keep it in a safe.
Regardless of how well you think you’re cleaning yourself tho, you’re being lead home from shooting. It takes a lot to actually mitigate it, and even if you think you are, you’re not.
