some weird questions before, but I think this one will take the cake.</span>
<br>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">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."</span>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Actually, I had
a run-in the other night that made me think about this.</span>
<br>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">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.)</span>
<br>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">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?</span>
<br>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">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.)</span>
<br>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">I don't want this
to turn into a 2nd amendment thread. Just a 'what to consider' for
leaving a pistol in a shop.</span>
<br>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Note, in my shop
I do just about everything, metal work, wood work, car and heavy equipment
work, etc. </span>
<br><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif"><br>
Thanks in advance.</span>
