MT2 Firing Range Services is leading the fight nationwide to protect police officers and other shooters from the hazards of lead poisoning at gun ranges. James M. Barthel, President of MT2 Firing Range Services (MT2) said: “We have a corporate initiative of annually supporting our brothers and sisters in blue.
