I get lots of e-mails per day related to.....gun stuff!

Imagine that!

Anyways, there is a company selling magnets to secure one's firearm, possibly in a discreet location.

Why would anyone use a magnet?

It is just my experience (and not to discredit anyone) that securing a firearm with a magnet would cause said gun to become magnetized,thus having the ability to collect "dirt" ,yeah, the ferrous stuff.

I live on the NE end of the Iron Range, to me this would be a no-no.

Comments, do you use a magnet....Just curious.
 
It would only get mildly magnetize and the shock of shooting it would erase much of that fairly well. My Winchester 9410 has a rare earth magnet in the feed mechanism to aid feeding. Does not seem to cause any issue with collecting a lot ferrous particles Seems like a non-issue to me.
