What are the legal ramifications of buying weapons and ammunition just as usual (just thinking theoretically here folks, not necessarily advocating), then filing a local report they were somehow stolen or lost, then burying them where nobody knows where they are, with limited maps to their locations, for the potential SHTF moment and subsequent retrieval? (I am pretty sure the Yankee Ingenuity of the Colonists would see them do this kind of clever thing in prep. against the encroaching Redcoats after the series of intolerable acts and edicts.)
When a free people have to resort to burying thier Constitutionaly-protected firearms to stave off confiscation by a dictator the "legal ramifications" are/is pretty much a moot point....
But I no longer own any long guns - sold them to some guy at a gas station.....
