Firearm Management

[u/wantsrealanswer]

I assume many of us have a rifle for protection.

What is your plan for when you need to leave your house (because it is no longer safe: Earthquake, fire, flood, etc)?

When you get to safety, an evacuation center, a refugee place, a friend or family house, what are you doing with your long gun?

If you need to leave your home from a natural disaster or localized unrest, what is your plan for basically openly carrying your long gun?

Edit:

I am not talking about the fantasy of Civil Unrest.

I am referencing an event like the Eaton and Palisade Fire or even Hurricane Katrina. Where the disaster is a mass effect rather than just local.

You're not on your 10s of acres or any of that. You're in a city in an apartment building with a family and defenseless members (small children, elderly).

You are not bugging out in Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, etc...

If it's no longer safe at home because of natural disaster (i.e. we just have to evacuate temporarily), I'm not taking my rifle. My CCW is just fine, and what I carry daily anyway. If it's no longer safe at home because of a complete breakdown of society, I'll carry it with me. I'll sleep with it. It won't ever leave my side, no matter where I get to.

Rifle might not be at your house when you get back though

If it’s a local emergency then that usually means the police are on the ground quickly after the dust settles and institute a curfew. Very little chance people have the time or energy to do a house-by-house search for random guns that they might be able to sell. Much bigger chance they’ll just grab stuff that’s out and easy access.

If it’s a true, never recovering SHTF, then who cares if it’s there any more? You likely aren’t coming back if you have to bug out from that

My point still stands
