How Can We Fight Gun Confiscations?
Taking advantage of some unique hiding places when hiding your guns might help you to avoid illegitimate confiscation efforts.
Concealing Your Guns Tip #6: False Plumbing
The one difficulty with this hiding place is that your guns aren’t readily accessible. But then again, if your guns have been confiscated, you probably don’t need to be grabbing a gun every time you check the door at night.
The drawback to this as a hiding place is that if they try to do a thorough search, this is probably one of the first truly hidden places that they would look. Even then, they likely wouldn’t move all of the tiles, so in case you can find a place that’s not as likely to be checked, that’s a good place to use.
Since there is no record of personal sales, you could claim that you have sold one or two firearms that you have hidden away. Additionally, you could keep hidden away any firearms you have purchased privately or that you’ve made. The question then becomes, where would you hide those firearms to keep the authorities from finding them?
Any cursory search by those police officers is only going to be of the obvious places that people usually keep their guns : a gun safe or cabinet, nightstand, closet, and under the bed. It’s doubtful that they’ll go much farther than that.
Concealing Your Guns Tip #4: In the Walls
No Database Is Perfect
The best way to be certain that your guns aren’t found is to bury them in your own backyard. Depending on the size of the guns, you can either bury them in five-gallon buckets or sealed into PVC pipe. Either way, the container should be waterproof and moisture-proof, thereby protecting the guns from damage. Even so, you’ll want to oil them down well before burying them.
Finally, you can hide an awful lot of things in plain sight. You are probably using your basement, attic, or garage for storage. That means a lot of miscellaneous boxes with a great deal of miscellaneous stuff in them. Someone would need to empty plenty of boxes to find those that you hid your firearms in.
There is a lot of space between your home’s walls. While hard to access, if you’re doing a remodeling job you could hide some guns within the wall and make note of where they are. You would have to make a hole in the wall for them later, but it would be well worth it.
Technically and legally, there is no nationwide gun registration. However, some states have their own registration legislation. In addition to that, I am not sure how much we can trust the federal government to adhere to that law. First off, all gun purchases have to be called into the NICS for a computer background check. Furthermore, the BATF checks the records of gun sales in all gun stores across the nation. So, there is still the possibility that they are creating an illegal database of gun possession. That wouldn’t surprise me at all.
This is terrific for long guns, which can’t just be hidden inside a false heat register. Nevertheless, of all of the options I’m mentioning, this is the toughest one to access your firearms. Because of this, you want to be sure that any guns you conceal this manner would be ones that you won’t need until you’re in a survival situation.
Another option is to go along with law enforcement, but only to a point. In other words, give them some of your guns as a law-abiding citizen but not all of them. Of course, succeeding in this requires the government not know what guns you have.
The recent shooting of Gary Willis has shown that the liberal left is still hell-bent on taking away our guns. Gary’s only crimes were to get in a debate with a distant relative and then not be willing to turn over his firearms to law enforcement officers when they came to confiscate them under a red flag arrangement. The same could happen soon to any of us.
Nevertheless, their database can not be perfect. Private transactions still don’t have to go through the NICS system, so there is usually no record of them. Nor is there any record of homemade firearms. So when you have made an AR-15 from an 80% lower, there is not any record of it existing.
Concealing Your Guns Suggestion #1: Bury Them

Few people will take another glance at this false ductwork, not seeing it for what it is. Rather, they’ll look around and past it as they attempt to see what else is there.
This raises the question of how to resist such confiscations effectively. Taking a stand and resisting the authorities might be a excellent way to produce a statement.
Just like we were speaking about fictitious ductwork, you can create false plumbing and it’ll work for the same reason. Notwithstanding, this only works in unfinished basements. What you need to do here is to add a 2nd four-inch drainpipe in the basement. It should span from the ceiling to the ground, exactly like the existing one. Put it on the other side of the basement so that it isn’t easy to compare it to the present one.
After the police served their orders on Gary Willis, there were only two officers present. That makes it seem like they’re not performing Gestapo style home inspections, but instead they are expecting citizens to cooperate and turn over their firearms. If that’s the case, they’re more likely to believe it when someone says that they don’t have a particular firearm or that they’ve sold it. Consequently, if you hide the guns rather well, odds are that nobody will discover them.
Concealing Your Guns Suggestion #2: False Ductwork
Few people understand the ductwork in the basement or attic of a house. This lack of understanding gives you the opportunity to add false ductwork to your house and connect it to the existing ductwork. It doesn’t need to be connected to permit air to pass, but only to look like it is part of the original. To do so, you need to find the exact same kind of material and create your new ductwork seem like the old. In essence, try to make it look like it goes somewhere.

The important thing here is to put the heat register close to the floor so that you can set whatever gun you’re going to put in there on the floor. That way, you can get the firearm hidden under the height of the register but nevertheless easy to grab. Only put 1 gun per register so as to scatter them out and make them harder to find.
Many people’s basements are completed with a hanging ceiling. If your home is among them, you have a ready-made hiding place today. All you’ve got to do is to move a ceiling tile and put in a shelf to the side of the present floor joists for the floor above. You can hide a lot there on a number of shelves without anyone knowing where it is.
Following through with the idea of a false ductwork, you could also add in fictitious heat registers. Simply cut a hole in the wall and add one that you can buy at your local home improvement store. The warmth register will be held in place by a couple of screws, but as they are only into drywall, they can easily be removed. The great part is that by removing them you gain access to the space inside the wall.
