I have a question for people in the Sonoran Desert. Normally when I take a gun with me (which is most of the time), I’m able to keep it with me all the time. Every once in a while though a situation comes up where I need to leave it in the car (appropriately locked up and secured, of course). As everyone here knows, it’s starting to get a little warm out. In a few months the air temperature will be 110 degrees and in a car it gets to where you can’t touch the steering wheel until the air conditioning has been running for 10 minutes … you know what I mean.
Of course I wouldn’t leave a loaded gun in the car and I don’t leave ammunition there when it gets that hot… but… what does it take to “cook of” a round? How much should I let a gun cool down before loading it? Any advice?
