i have no experience with guns but as an analogy to the music instrument biz, which you are also familiar with...

a local tech guy i know does alot of work on repairs and customization stuff....guitars and amplifiers. he works out of his home...he has a basement workshop.

when the stores around here have a customer that needs say, an amp repaired or a guitar re-wired or pickups installed...they call him and he picks it up and fixes it and then brings it back and gets paid...the customers never even know where the stuff goes to get fixed...he also has a decent business with customers directly out of his house

i would prefer to have my equipment at home is i guess what i am saying...who knows what could happen to your stuff. here today, gone tomorrow

i would also prefer to work out of my house if i could, rather than have to be somewhere else all the time

good luck, whatever you choose to do
