Eric,

I don't know what the weather's like there, but I've never been able to
keep anything in my garage from rusting, long-term. Some of it just rusts
faster, some slower. If it was a handgun, and I was depending on it, I
don't think I'd leave it in the garage at all. Add to that the concern that
you might be on the other side of the garage when you needed it and I might
just be inclined to carry it while I was in there, then bring it inside
after.

Of course now, for me, I'm just going to close the garage door. I didn't
even think about it before your email but I've got a pack of what my
neighbors say are wolves behind my house--I can't tell the difference on
sight between a wolf and a coyote (and I don't think it'd matter anyway),
but there are definitely a pack of them and they like to howl at night and
you can see them in the distance sometimes before it gets too dark. I've
always assumed they want nothing to do with the house and I think they're
neat to look at but am not necessarily interested in getting better
acquainted.

I think now I'll be maintaining garage stuff with the door down. Thanks for
that.

Scott
