Why would you NOT lock up.. .Geesh...
1. Never bothered to purchase locks.
2. Have to carry another key.
3. Need to remove one to fuel up (not so "fast" with a lock involved).
4. If you don't get the locks completely closed they could fall off, leaving no "pin". Shaft locking pins are can be seen if they're not closed.
5. Didn't realize how stupid expensive Fastguns are. My stainless set plus the tie downs installed was well under $1k in 2006.
No problem with those who do but it's not like it's a requirement.
I agree, there is a point when securing stuff becomes more trouble than it is worth.
