Proper maintenance of 1900 luger

I guess that I just don't understand why you need air circulation--something that breathes. To me the successful storage of weapons depends on keeping moisture away. If the weapon is put away dry in a tight fitting case, then moisture should not get to it. This situation is further improved if the case is stored in a climate controlled house and even more if the case is then stored in a safe. A coating of gun oil provides further insurance against corrosion. If you think about it, storage in a perfect vacuum would be the ultimate protection--no moisture, no oxygen and certainly no air circulation. I don't want to be argumentative, I'm just posing my theory.
