Ok, I know I've asked some weird questions before, but I think this one
will take the cake.
I live out in the country, and often work well into the night with a large
shop door open. With having bears, coyotes and other large animals in the
area, I got to thinking, it might be a good idea to keep a pistol in the
garage to scare off any would be 'late night snackers."
Actually, I had a run-in the other night that made me think about this.
So my question is, if I have a pistol, in a rapid access safe in a shop
environment, what factors should I consider? I understand that humidity
will play a huge role, as will dust (I have to see how 'sealed' the safe
is.)
Is there anything I'm missing that I should consider? I understand that I
will most likely have to clean the weapon often, but is there anything I
need to think about?
Also, I'm open to suggestions for a weapon type. I thinking an XD-M elite
polymer hand gun. With mostly composite parts. Similar to a Glock.
(Note, I don't have anything against Glock, I just never owned one. I do
have and love my XD however, so Glock isn't out of consideration.)
I don't want this to turn into a 2nd amendment thread. Just a 'what to
consider' for leaving a pistol in a shop.
Note, in my shop I do just about everything, metal work, wood work, car
and heavy equipment work, etc.
Thanks in advance.
