Comments on: Utah Officials Warn TV Viewers Not To Shoot Their Old TV Sets http://www.gunpundit.com/3113.php Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:08:53 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Nadnerbus http://www.gunpundit.com/3113.php/comment-page-1#comment-4888 Nadnerbus Sat, 04 Jul 2009 00:23:02 +0000 http://www.gunpundit.com/?p=3113#comment-4888 An absurd figure, of course. I've shot my share of microwaves and such. The glass in the TV tube is very leaded, but I don't see that lead going anywhere short of a nuclear blast melting it. Which is always possible in Utah. But relatedly, where I shoot in Norther/Southern California, Nevada, and Idaho, there are too many people that leave the place looking like a junk yard, and that just makes it harder for us gun owners when it comes time to have the gun debate. And shooting up glass and such always leave plenty of shards and garbage, something most just leave. Since I started shooting, I have become much more careful cleaning up, and have stopped shooting glass bottles and the like. Besides, my friend had to go to a local clinic to get six or seven stitches when he sliced his leg on a shard one time. No fun. An absurd figure, of course. I’ve shot my share of microwaves and such.
