Along those same lines, Buck, I tend to over-engineer about everything and get teased a fair amount over it. I do everything humanly possible to protect my guns short of not using them. But working guns cannot live a pampered life - kinda like sled dogs. I learned not to "loan" a gun to anyone not as OCD as I am. Also accidents do happen and I've experienced everything from having a wind blow a flint rifle off a gun rack at the range to awkwardly bumping these long barreled guys while simply trying to get them in the door. It would definitely make me nervous to precariously balance one of mine anywhere clumsy folks might wander by. At home I even have bungee cables strapping mine in in their already secure racks.
