Does gpg support storing public keys in encrypted state?

I know this might sound counter-intuitive, but is it possible to configure gpg to store public keys in encrypted state on disks? Such that when encrypting a message to someone, user would be asked to first enter a passphrase to decrypt recipient's public key.

As we move towards a "post-quantum" age, one might as well encrypt public keys for storage for a special case of "not-too-public" public key cryptography.
