Well, if I am going on a vacation, I would take my hygiene supplies. Why buy more needlessly? You also assume there will be stuff on the shelves. Might not be, especially if deliveries have been disrupted for a few days. That's why you are supposed to take things like pet food.
The hotel idea is nice but with tens of thousands of people evacuated, what makes you think you can get a reservation? My wife and I discussed it and we decided to head for Anaheim if we were evacuated because it is off-season and the hospitality infrastructure around Disneyland is immense.
As for the guns, I'd rather not have my guns laying around for someone to steal if there is looting (which there is). Better to lug em than to put em on the street.
