Military surplus 82mm mortar shell carrier makes a great sealed storage tube

"Public virtue cannot exist in a nation without private, and public virtue is the only foundation of republics. There must be a positive passion for the public good, the public interest, honour, power and glory, established in the minds of the people, or there can be no republican government, nor any real liberty: and this public passion must be superiour to all private passions."
--John Adams, letter to Mercy Warren, 1776

  1. Too bad it's not shaped to fit a gun...but it almost looks like it would make a good time capsule. As for Adams' quote, as long as the public sector doesn't try to control the private sector.

  2. I hadn't thought about that, but the AR-7 would fit.
