I live on a dead end street and all of the kids play, ride bikes, etc. while the adults watch and talk. I used to think this was safe until a pickup screeched to a halt at the entrance to the street and a guy got out and ran all the way up the street right by my 5 year old daughter. When he realized all of the yards were fenced and he couldn't get through he ran back down the street. Even though my kids were close, I never could have gotten to them before he did although I could have caught him before he got away if he had tried to grab my daughter. This got me to thinking that it might be nice to be able to get to a gun quickly while outside (even though in this incident I am not sure how it would have helped or been justified). Anyhow, I bought a new Taurus stainless steel 4" 6 shot revolver in 38 special with adjustable sights ($228.00-- pretty good value), put rubber grips on it, shot it, checked the sights and put it in a keyless gun safe bolted down in a cabinet in the garage. It stays there permanently. I guess this whole story is a long way of asking if I am going to have any trouble with the ammo (or gun) being subjected to the extremes of heat and cold in the garage. Anybody have any experience?
