Storing/traveling with gas for portable gen

I am leaning towards NOT storing the gas can in the garage and emptying the generator but then where will I keep the gas can and how will I fill up the gen before trips and so much for using the gen in case of an emergency? What do you all do and what would you do in my case to mitigate the potential for safety issues?

Also, how do you all travel with portable gas cans for your gens in your trucks? I used to mow lawns when I was a kid and most of these things were kept in the garages of several houses in my hood and no issues.

This seems like an awful long discussion just to get at a safe way to safely store - while also being able to safely and quickly dispense - gasoline.

The right way to do it isn't an inexpensive plastic container bought at your local big-box store or auto parts store. Here's how to properly do it in a steel 5 gallon capacity size per container. We have for years used only a 2 gallon version of this kept in an outside storage cabinet of our Class C for refueling of our little battery charging portable generator. There has never been any spillage or odor ... and it's steel construction will be safe in an accident:
