So - hypothetically of course - buy an AK and a Glock, seal them up really well, and hide them where they absolutely will not be found. When you are asked if you have weapons, say yes, turn over the ones you have on you/available at the time, try as hard as you can to get a receipt, and then wave at the nice officers as they continue on their merry way. Then, go dig up the goodies, and defend your life.

That's what I was thinking as well... Although, as with Katrina, they did have plenty of warning that the storm was coming, and when you live below sea level I can only imagine that you must have some idea that your life/home might be in danger from flooding. I most likely would have left and taken my firearms with me, before the flood.
I think of it like situational awareness but on a bigger scale.
I'm not going to wake up one morning and have the National guard at my door demanding to search my home for weapons. There will be some political, social, or natural situation that would proceed such a move, and I just need to be aware of it, and not be home when they show up.
