I do not suggest you do anything illegal to prepare yourself for any sort of worst case scenario. That isn’t just a disclaimer; it is what I really think. The juice just isn’t worth the squeeze. Particularly in the area of firearms you just don’t need to break any laws. If the place you live in has really sucky gun laws then move.
I have heard of some folks who have a shotgun with a very short defensive barrel. That is fine and dandy unless some goblin breaks into their place and that shotgun gets used. The difference of a few inches of barrel would be the difference between spending a bit of time talking to the cops and eventually going home and a long time in jail.
If you really want to have some explosives around then find a legitimate reason to have them and jump through the hoops to get the right licenses.
It is tempting to think I’ll just get X and only take it out if the world ends. Life just doesn’t work that way and almost all realistic scenarios do not have all law enforcement vanishing.
At a minimum if you do make the decision to break the law don’t tell anybody and hide the stuff well. Really telling nobody is probably more important than hiding the stuff well. In some circles people becoming informants in order to get a pass on their own indiscretions is more common than anybody will admit. Also a person who hears you are looking for something might just come up with it and get the whole thing on tape to send you to the pen.
Lets say you live in California and own a Glock or some kind of a semi neutered semi automatic rifle. You might think that having a box of full capacity mags for both of these guns is prudent. Again I would suggest you either move or deal but at least pack the stuff securely and hide it deep. Somehow or another a person might end up in your attic and them mention the box of AK mags to someone else but a person digging 4 feet down in your garden 5 feet from the lower left side is unlikely. Should your spouse know about this? I say yes because you two need to be on the same page in major decisions. However there is no reason for anybody else to know.
Obey the law or at least keep your mouth shut.
