I have considered a storing away sawed-off shotgun. But then I realized there was nothing illegal about keeping an intact shotgun and a hacksaw.

There may be a time of announced inspection prior to my recognizing the brown stuff on the fan.

Depending on your jurisdiction, there is nothing illegal about buying an NFA-registered $5-tax 12ga AOW either. Heck, I had one on my NY CCW permit. Few things say “government certified good guy” like a Form 4.

I have a variety of odds and ends which might be creatively adapted in a pinch, but for now, they're just the sort of stuff it's good to have when you live in a 100 year old house.

Anything which goes wrong seems to do so at 3AM on a holiday weekend... so spare parts and materials are a must, as are tools.
