This is pretty neat, especially since it still contained the original items stocked. I can't believe someone hadn't found & cleaned this out before now. Simply amazing.

As far as the guns are concerned, I would imagine the guns were most likely kept close to the home owner. It's easier to carry a few guns & some ammo into your shelter when the time comes than to have to make a trip down there every time you need one topside. I'd be extremely surprised if they found any guns or ammo down there.

No guns? Or did the journalists just conveniently leave that out.

California was pretty gun friendly in 1961. And besides even if it wasn't (it was) after a nuclear war like we figured would happen back then who in their right mind would venture out into the wasteland without a gun. Who?

Kaliformians that's who
