This is why you not only store food, but also Guns & Ammo in your basement AND NEVER TELL ANYONE!!! Make a section of your house/basement a Shelter of the 1950’s-type…steel door, heavy interior lock & bar. Once you are IN, nobody is getting IN without a bulldozer kind of Safe Room.

Nobody else has a Need to Know.

Plan tactically. Think like a Boy Scout.

Rebecca Hauptman: I joined a Yahoo groups list on food storage because I recently started my food storage (this year!!) someone on the list mentioned that the government can take your food storage if they want to… but then when I asked my mom about it today she told me that after Hurricane Andrew (1993 I think) the LDS church sued the government for doing that, saying it was infringing on religious freedom because food storage is a part of “our religion”. My mom said that the government can still take food storage from people, just not LDS folks. I am wondering if there is any truth to this?She also mentioned that if the government declares Martial Law (I had to look that up and read about it) that they can take anyone’s food storage, etc. This is a separate thing from my first comment above. And this would apply to LDS folks, too. I would love to hear anyone’s comments about this.

I am not aware of, nor have I heard of, any lawsuit as you describe. It is true that by executive order of the President of the United States that they could take your food storage. However, not all presidential executive orders are necessarily constitutional. If such an order was to be executed in the midst of martial law, the least of your worries would be them taking your food storage.
