Earlier this year, I dug it out, just to make sure it was there. Uh, oh, guess what's happened to the keys for the padlock on the case and the trigger lock? (Seriously, do you know? 'Cause I can't find them anywhere.)
I was able to pry the (plastic & foam) case apart far enough to make sure the gun was still in there.
So, that's the weapon part of my planning-- I have a big hard plastic box to hit people with!

Bolt cutters are an important part of your kit!
(Also, I have read - but not verified - that storing a weapon in open-cell foam for a long period of time is a bad idea because the foam tends to attract moisture. Anyone have any firsthand confirmation of that?)
