Maybe not so silly. Obviously you don't want to use to use public key encryption because that would put the private key, the public key and the cipher text all on the same machine. That makes the encrypted data only as secure as the machine its sitting on. However (I didn't know this until I looked at the man page), gpg also has symmetric ciphers. Now I need to figure out if those symmetric ciphers can be used can be used from libgpgme.
