What about the gunpowder smoke? Any danger there?

My admittedly limited understanding is that the combustion products from smokeless powder itself are comparatively benign and you'd need an unreasonably excessive amount of exposure (or, as you say, have some pre-existing condition) to incur significant risk from that source. However, much of the lead exposure from indoor shooting is from airborne lead originating from the priming compound used in most ammunition, lead styphnate, and that is for the most part traveling with the smoke, so that represents a real concern.
