Closest I can compare the feeling to is the urge to jump off a high place but not actually wanting to do it.

Welcome to PC.
I am sorry that you have to work with a gun. It would increase the temptation tenfold. Maybe try and change the thoughts about the gun. The gun is for work purposes - nothing more. You are safe from yourself and the gun. Do you think it might be good to check in with a therapist to see what is going on for you?
