Scott: The only way lead in the paint would be an issue is if you ingest 
it.  If you use a chemical stripper wear gloves and dispose of the goop in 
the landfill. If you sandblast, sand, wire wheel and such wear a breathing 
mask. Use the mask while working and when cleaning the paint dust up.  Wash 
up good after either method before you go in the house to eat.
Good luck!!
