Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Finally...
Inthane ...Before anybody goes off raving on the advantages or disadvantages of gun ownership, these guns will go in a locked (combination) box, only to be removed for regular cleanings, or in the case of general civil disorder for home defense usage only.

Grygus ...If the kids can't get at them, nor can you, at least not in "real time", so what's the point?

Weapons have their place. However, locked up a weapon will only provide false security. You'd never have time to find the storage cabinet (or get to it), unlock it, load weapon, and prepare yourself to use it. Better to put bars on your windows and a vault door on the house. Prevent

Now if you're worried about civil unrest, get a good long gun and fade out into the country side. Sitting in the city would provide an opponent with too many opportunities to get you, and too many of them for you to defend yourself. Do I hear Montana calling?
"All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field;
the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever."
1 Peter 1:24-25
New I figure if general civil unrest breaks out...
...there will be enough warning to do the whole "unlock 'n load" thing.

Home defense requires a good blade and an ambush point, not a gun.
In that final hour, when each breath is a struggle to take, and you are looking back over your life's accomplishments, which memories would you treasure? The empires you built, or the joy you spread to others?

Therin lies the true measure of a man.
New General civil unrest
only really pounds on large cities. Small towns and rural areas hardly notice them, except that the supply of cool toys dries up.

If you're really concerned, move yourself to a city of ~50K people at the most. A city that small is unlikely to end up with large scale rioting, because it's way too likely that you personally know the people you're rioting against, and most people find that distasteful. The worst that happens in places like that is that the local elites (read: party bosses of whatever stripe) might find themselves getting strung up.
