[Shop-talk] Maybe the weirdest shop related question asked here.

[Mike Rambour]

  Yes, there are some that do that (not me), my brother-in-law is one 
and I belong to a gun club where there is always some type of discussion 
about in home carry, my firearms stay in the safe, but i am in a safe 
part of town and don't have coyotes around like you do.

   You would not want to see my brother-in-law's carry around the 
shop/yard weapon, its a small Ruger stainless security six, 2" barrel 
(he bought it CHEAP with a bulged barrel due to a squib and had the 
barrel cut down) and tore up to "poop", scratched (which can be fixed on 
a stainless gun) and gouged (which can't be fixed), its ugly but its 
been on his hip or small of his back for decades.  Get a cheap weapon, a 
revolver that you don't care about and you will get used to it on your 
hip or back, heck maybe even try a shoulder holster (kidding but they 
are comfortable while in the way).

  Personally, I would just get a small handgun safe, put it near the 
door and just get in the habit of opening it every time I walked in the 
garage and closing EVERY time you walk out.  Just leave it in the safe 
with door open.

  Here is some shop/manufacturing content :)  get the small safe and rig 
a light switch to it, so when you open the door it turns on a light that 
way when you are done for the day, you will remember to close the safe 
since the light will be on, make it a bright LED so you can't miss the 
light and it does not use much electricity during the day,  BONUS points 
if you rig it so you can't turn off the light while the safe door is 
open and closing the door turns off the light.

A gun is like a parachute, if you need one but don't have it,
you'll probably never need one again.
