How do you secure your weapons during a natural disaster? Prayers for those in East Texas. This disaster should give us time to think of how do we protect what have from the weather and possible looter after.
You can readily get PVC in 8-10" diameter at plumbing supply houses.
Fun theory.I thought about breaking down the guns and taking the barrels and recoil springs with me. Maybe just take the firing pins and recoil springs. At least someone would have to do some work to get them running again.
One problem with the attic is the roof & windows are likely to suffer damage first, it might seems like a nice high dry place for them but some people will be coming home to no house at allGiven that I had enough time, I'd seal my rifles in PVC and put them in my attic. If I couldn't do that, I'd seal them in contractor's bags and shove them way back in my attic (My attic is not easily accessible). I'd leave the hand guns and other items in double-zip-lock bags in my safe. I'd only take a few guns while I flee to high ground where I have a cabin in the mountains.
You don't want to be stuck in that crap. Go early, and forget about the stuff that you're willing to leave behind. Trying to make theft a little bit of a headache for some one is just punishment for yourself by way of a departure delay. ...And the thief isn't going to care. If they wanted the gun, but it doesn't work, it's still free money when they dump it in a pawn shop or on the street.
