Hi Eric
The issue is the relay is not designed to be removed and installed
all the time.
a simple on / off switch will disable it. If you can find the wire
that disables it then just interrupt it and it will stop all fuel flow.

Instead of the 9MM My mom caries a nice S&W Bodyguard .380.
A armed society is a polite society!!
