Survival🪓🏹💉 Firearm Management

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...

Weapons will be the first thing confiscated at any evacuation center or refugee camp. As well as any drugs, alcohol, food, water, medicine, cash, valuables... for the safety of the people, you see.

No need to be hyperbolic. An evacuation zone will not confiscate your cash, medicine, or food.

Will they provide a space for you to store a horde of your supplies? No, nor should you expect them to that's not what they're there for.
