I never thought about that! That is very unsettling...

Sometimes the obvious gets overlooked. If you dont know who has a gun or not, and who might flip out and use it, people are more likely to just settle problems quietly and peacefully instead of risking confrontation.

If I were doing that, I'd put the gun in a ziploc, then in a case, preferably one with no metal parts, and bury it at least 6 feet under, so an adversary would need more than a metal detector to find it. That also gives you fairly good protection from the elements and from accidental damage, even if some utility installer goes digging in the wrong place.

Heck, I'd put them in box or something after wrapping them up with something waterproof.
I'm thinking of the doorbell ringing by armed gun-grabbers who also have the back door covered.
If they take all the guns I have in my home and car and I'm still free ("free" a relatively term now) and alive, I know where I'll be taking a shovel..

Yikes! Thanks for the heads up.
My next thought about that is how that would work with Obama contriving some emergency to impose martial law and a third term to, say, keep an elected or about to be elected President Trump from dismantling the Narcissist-In-Chief's precious legacy.

If you're looking for a rifle, I'd suggest investigating one of the old Mausers, pre-1898. Some of the 1895 Chilean ones have been re-barreled into 7.62 x 51 NATO, with the ammo more available than the original 7 mm. These old guns don't leave a paper trail, and still shoot incredibly accurately. I'm a proponent of shooting from cover, with as much distance between me and the opponent as possible. Even the old French Lebel or a Krag Jorgenson (the "Rough Riders" gun) put sizable bullets down range at over 2200 fps, and with the right scope and stock can become a potent sniper weapon.

I used to be a fit state corrections officer able to take care of violent situations (firearms not allowed inside Alabama prisons).
Now retired Old Dino is disabled (just not legally handicapped) due to arthritis and Type Two Diabetes.
Anyhoo, I've got three speed loaders laying around that take .38 and .357 rounds from my DOC and semiretired security guard days..
Think I'll next buy the appropriate revolver to supplement the semiautomatics that I have.

I have an excellent income, though I'm also a 3rd generation collector, there is an accumulation effect.

I wouldn't recommend burying them in the dirt, you would not likely find them in an emergency, serves no purpose of not accessible, and the elements would do serious damage, probably rendering them inoperable. My dad had a habit of poor maintenance, he didn't really ever fire many of them so he assumed they were fine. Even storage in a finished basement in an old wood cabinet damaged several beyond reasonable economic cost for repair.

If I could dip my military and vintage stuff in cosmoline I would, as it is I clean/lube/oil twice a year on all of them and make some judgements on which ones to let go at the same time. I like to hunt in Canada for example, so I'm starting to just get rid of semi auto hunting rifles in favor of fewer / better bolt-actions. I can't take a semi-auto across the border and only limited hunting opportunity where I live.

Gun safes are required by law here, burying or hiding would be a felony (on each incident actually).

The next Paul Revere will have wheels and maybe use a honking horn.
He may even use a cop's siren to warn of federal gun grabbers.
I've read that there are some sheriff's saying they would not confiscate the weapons of those they have sworn to protect.

Retired state worker me is not as wealthy as you evidently are. I've been thinking of burying one of my pistols in the woods behind my home.
It will be unloaded with loaded clips plus extra ammo buried somewhere else with both site not appearing to be freshly dug.

I have a friend who used to work closely with homeland security. We where discussing the issue of gun bans in the US not long ago and he told me that as of two years ago, homeland security put plan in place to remove all registered firearms from the american people.

That it is.

+1 but Lady Hillary of the Royal House of Clinton takes an elite better's exception to that.
Maybe we should ask the Koch brothers to buy her off. Works for oil sheiks and counties that arm terrorists. .

I recently purchased a slightly used 357 mag. revolver. It was well taken care of, works great, and I didn't go through the fol-der-rol that was necessary when I bought my brand new S&W 38. It didn't come with a trigger lock & key. It didn't come with an instruction book. It didn't come in a fancy box, BUT it shoots just fine, and with its 4" barrel is more accurate than my snub 38. If the Clinton person gets in they will have a hard time getting them away from this poor, weak, little old man.

We need to set up an alert system, preferably with redundant means of communication in case they disable phones or the Internet. The point being that on the day the police start going house to house to collect guns, gun owners can be quickly notified in order to leave affected areas with their weapons and/or band together to resist. Because no individual or family is going to be in a position to say no when a squad of cops show up at his home.

I think a President Cackles Clinton may top the gun sales of all of Obama's 8 years during her first month in what used to be Bill's Oral Office..

Fortunately after a lifetime of accumulating, 3 gun safes just isn't enough room for the collection and I've been drawing up plans to convert a spare room into a walk-in safe of sorts (without looking like it), using a magnet lock for the transparency. Unfortunately the wife isn't buying-into the idea of a kick-proof door or reinforcing the exterior wall from the inside. Thus... the plans will need to go on hold until we retire to Southern Idaho in a few years, but rest assured, the back-hoe is going to build a walk-in safe/cache below-grade in the barn or something.

My wife used to be a lefty anti-gunner when we first met, I took her shooting one afternoon, she was trembling with tears streaming down her face when she first fired the AR15, then after ripping through a few magazines she couldn't get enough of it. She seems to like the Glock the best, hates my high-powered rifles, but even likes my AK somewhat (its kind of heavy for her). She definitely is 1000% in favor of the 'America's Gun' concept of the AR15 though, she even brags about it to her lefty govie friends that look at her like she's from another planet.

very scary....

"An armed society is a polite society." -- Robert A. Heinlein. And why not?

I think the NRA should award President Obama a medal for being the best gun salesman on the planet. Somehow, I don't think he'd want to put that up next to his Nobel Peace Prize.

Yesterday that thought ran though old dino's head.
Throughout several states, gun owners of many neighborhoods and towns may start forming human blockades all armed with the loaded guns President Clinton's gungrabbers (in whatever form that may be) come and try to take them.
History may indeed begin to repeat itself as an American war against tyranny~

Oklahoma or Texas. Much more gun friendly, and are moving on correcting abusive laws on bladed weapons as well. OK now permits carry of switchblades, and by November, sword canes will also be permitted. Next we're working on martial arts weapons.

"What happens?" The shooting starts, just like on April 19, 1775.

To Canada?
