    I just throw all the odd things into them, like wire/flap wheels. One has assortment of weird brushes, for cleaning stuff.

      Storage for tools, spare car parts, misc. junk. Just gotta watch the sharp edges...

        If some level of government had that information, what would they do with it? How would having that info benefit public safety? How would it benefit law enforcement?

            I store cans of spam in mine. It just seems appropriate.

              Put a pressure treated pole in and fill them with concrete. Use them as temp fence hangars, tree limb props, run a line between them and hang targets, punch holes in them, fill with rocks and use them as drains on the property or;

              call them antiques and sell them for big $$$ to tourists.

              Don't worry, it will never pass...How in the hell did that pass?

              Think past your gun, it's the last resort, the first is your brain.

              Defense is a losing proposition when time is on the side of the opponent. In the history of humanity, no defense has ever won against an enemy with time on their side.

                I was actually thinking about putting some handles on 2 sides of the can then melting the tin/lead solder off and bending the sharp edges inward. Years ago at a gun show a vendor had spare Mosin parts in a spam can but it looked like he had glued some type of felt (billiards type material) along the inside. I know it seems like way too much work to put into a spam can but I like to tinker around.

                    Bend the top flaps down inside the cans so there are fewer sharp edges to catch fingers on.
                    Use however you like.

                      Garage shelving? Paint em, Bolt em to the wall, put lighter weight stuff in em, maybe next to the laundry to surprise the wifey.
                      I dreamed of owning a (insert off roster gun here)...

                      Oh yeah....then the earth splits open with me on one side and the (off roster gun) on the other. Then appeared a large red-glowing pit with gavin newscum, diane frankenstein and governor "brown the drain" at the bottom of it, waving their pitchforks at me.
