Cheapest one I saw at a gun show last month was $300.
LOL !! Excellent!
I was thinking under a beehive might be good.
Hah. If I buried anything, much less a gun even if I had one, I’d never be able to find it again.
He didn’t have any money to invest in 1950. He worked minimum-wage jobs, paid cash for everything, and was finally able to start saving only a few years before he passed. (All of it was SS income minus monthly expenses.)
Could he have been smarter? Sure. But now the money’s gone and precisely for the reasons he imagined.
LOL! Yeah. Me too.
Thanks. I’ve always liked the mini-14. It reminded me of the M14 which was the best rifle I ever fired in the army. I wish I had picked one up for a couple of hundred when I had the chance (I feel that it would have been most comforting now).
I would bury several dozen of those high powered super magnets along with a couple rolls of pennies to mimic bullets, maybe toss in some fishing weights. And just to get more imaginative do the pipe bit but just use some 4’ ABS about a foot long with caps, toss all the above in and glue it up.
Bury these as another poster commented in obvious places, make sure they are upright in case a portable ground radar is used.
To shield the real deal I would make a shield of a rubber mud flap that could have something dense like spraying it with glue and throwing a layer of lead shot on it, or get some lead foil. Having it under a tree is an excellent idea.
Course anything said here and now is being noted so be adaptable.
This is for the alphabets, all we talk and all our actions is not to be against America, its to save America from usurpation and tyranny, America WAS the land of the free, we could use a little help getting it back that way you know.
I think the poster was suggesting that one not resist at the moment that the enemy is at the door. Tactically, it's the wrong time and place to fight. There's too high a probability that you will sacrifice your life or freedom without causing the enemy any discomfort. If it is truly the last chance to fight, then you have to do it.
Or an option after they knock your door down at 3am and take everything.
ROFLMAO !!!!!
Dang! I paid $105 for mine!
Spent enough time working on mine (Chicom version) that I was satisfied that it wouldn't fire when you released the safety (as it did to me - ain't that exciting?), and then sold it cheap. Couldn't trust it, ever - or any other Chicom firearm (including the heavy-barrel AK my local gun emporium had in stock, with the magazine permanently jammed in place - wasn't that a sight... ;>)
Sorry - screw that. If they come to my door they wont be leaving. If there are any LEO's reading this. As a group, I love you, I respect what you do (mostly), most of you are the salt of the earth. But if you come for my weapons I am going to kill you.
Why would people bury a necessary tool?
It would probably follow the Pareto principle (aka 80-20 rule) with 80% failing to comply as is estimated to be the compliance percentage for NYC gun laws.
Read the following for an academic discussion.

It would be reckless and probably wrong to resist gun confiscation
