How does one tell if paint has lead in it?

Just got a heat gun to remove all the horrible layers of flaking paint from
my garage. It's a 1930's house, but I've no idea when the garage was added
(not recently though!). I believe paint in the 60's and before quite often
had lead in it - don't really want to breathe it in or ingest the dust if it
does!!!

I picked up a small testing kit from one of the decorating
suppliers some time ago. I think it might even have been free.
