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.

Agreed for the most part. That's my plan is to keep a few stashed away. Caught out in the open surrounded by M16's I may have no choice but to "temporarily" surrender arms, give a friendly wave bye, and then go and dig up the stash later to stay alive. Invaded in my home though is a different story. As far as this:

Personally, yes. No man has the right to INITIATE force against others. Make no mistake, that IS what is happening in that scenario. I will repel with whatever means necessary and as long as humanly possible in that specific situation. No man has any right to come into my domain and outright attack me without provocation. That's violating my right to life any which way you cut it.
