Can I shoot if I’m pregnant?

If you’re pregnant, it’s best to avoid taking gun classes for a couple of key reasons. First, exposure to lead is a concern. Gun ranges, ammunition, and handling firearms can release lead particles into the air, which can be harmful to both you and your baby. Even if you’re careful, it’s difficult to fully avoid exposure in these environments.

Second, gunshots are extremely loud, and the decibels at a shooting range can be damaging to your hearing. Loud noises can cause permanent hearing loss, which is something you’d want to protect during pregnancy.

For your safety and your baby’s health, it’s a good idea to wait until after your pregnancy to take gun classes.

What if I’m breastfeeding?

Breastfeeding mothers can usually visit a gun range safely, but it’s important to take a few precautions. The main concern is lead exposure, which can be absorbed through the skin and potentially passed into breast milk. Lead particles can stick to your hands, clothes, and gear, so be sure to wash thoroughly after handling firearms and avoid touching your breast area before cleaning up.

Wearing a mask at the range is also a smart precaution. It helps reduce your exposure to airborne lead particles, which can be released when handling guns and ammunition. By limiting what you inhale, you’re helping to protect both yourself and your baby.

What is lead exposure, and why is it a concern at shooting ranges?

Lead exposure happens when tiny particles of lead enter your body—usually through the air you breathe or by getting on your hands and skin. At shooting ranges, lead comes mainly from ammunition. When a gun is fired, small amounts of lead can become airborne or settle on your clothes, skin, and gear.

This matters because long-term lead exposure can affect your health, especially your nervous system, organs, and reproductive health. It’s especially important for pregnant or breastfeeding women to take extra precautions, as lead can be passed to the baby.

The good news? There are simple ways to stay safe. Wash your hands and face after shooting, change clothes before going home, and avoid eating or drinking on the range. We also offer free masks to any student who wants one—and most likely, your instructor will be wearing one too. Masks help reduce the amount of lead you may breathe in while shooting. And if lead-free ammo is available, that’s another great way to cut down your exposure.

A few small steps make a big difference in keeping you healthy, safe, and confident at the range.
