OT - Really???

Did you fellows notice what the family had hidden in their safe?

Gold Coins... OK, makes sense
Silver Coins... Likewise
2 weeks food... Yeah, I can see that
$25,000 cash... WOW
4 Rolex watches... Trading value maybe?
but the kicker as far as I saw

36 (!!) hand guns
27 (!!) rifles
5000 rounds of ammo

I mean, REALLY DUDE???

Hopefully the hand guns are all of the same caliber. Or a VERY few optional calibers. Same with the rifles.

Let's say, for argument sakes, 18 .357 magnums and 18 9mm for the hand guns, for the rifles, 9 .22, 9 30-30 and 9 12 ga.

That boils down to 1250 rounds of .357 or .38.....that is approx 69 rnds/gun
1250 rounds of 9mm..... same result
900 rounds of .22 ..... 100 rnds/gun
800 rounds of 30-30.....approx 88 rnds/gun
800 rounds of 12 ga..... same

Not bad for the first few weeks of "SHTF", but after that???

IF it were me, fewer guns, maybe 3 of each, more ammo, more food. How about first aid kits? Extra clothing? Etc.....

My $0.02
