Scuba gear?
Note the "somewhere" which does not necessarily mean "right in their backyard." Maybe their caches firearms wouldn't have been accessible to them immediately. Nevertheless, my understanding is that many people who were the victims of confiscation have still not received their guns back. What if all their guns were taken? I bet many of the people whose arms were confiscated had the same "from my cold dead hands" mentality - at least one must have - but I haven't heard of any stories where someone actively resisted. I mean, realy, 5 JBTs locked and loaded demanding your guns...do you really want to go down shooting? I prefer to pick my battles, and that wouldn't be one of them.
Aside from the more paranoid reasons to cache guns, there are more practical ones. Confiscation, like mentioned above. Also, how about loss? This is a litle extreme, but what if you live in a city and are the subject of a terrorist act or a misguided missile? For one reason or another your house/building is vaporized, or at least on fire. What do you have to protect yourself now? I'm a firm believer in not putting all my eggs in one basket.
El T, I must admit I have litle to contribute to this thread, but would like to thank you for its inception. I have been considering this very idea and have gained valuable insight.
On second thought, now that I think about it, I do have something to mention, my dad once talked about with me. If you're storing ammo in ammo cans, to add a little level of waterproofing you can use silicone gasket maker. Just a thought.
