That almost certainly has nothing to do with storage and instead is about frequency of shooting.

People that have one gun locked in safe that never gets open, aren't shooting it.

Someone doing a weekly range trip is going to bring home a bunch of lead dust regardless of how they store the gun.

We really need to get away from lead in firearms

We also really need to normalize lead management. When I went shooting in scouts as a kid I learned all the responsible gun operation saftey stuff, but never even thought about the lead exposure till I was an adult

I'd never even heard of de-leading products for getting yourself cleaned up after shooting until deviant ollam on YouTube talked about them in passing in a video

(great channel by the way, it's hard to find any folks who talk about guns online that a turbo chud)

Edit: misspelled "deviant" lol

JaredAF has really good videos on this, and he measured his lead exposure - it was scary!
