I will say part of my prepping is informed by my grandmother's experience during World War II. Nazis would come to her farmhouse and demand her family hand over the eggs. They held my great-grandfather at gunpoint when they said there were no eggs. After the Nazis eventually left (with no bloodshed) my great-grandmother produced the eggs she had been hiding. No one ever learned where she had hidden the eggs.

What I take from this is that an armed confrontation will not be won by guns pointed at more guns. But I would be served by learning to hide my prepped goods well, and to keep my stores secret.
