People like to be prepared. Some people like to be Crazy-Prepared. Some are Properly Paranoid.
If your life is filled with hitmen, supervillains and other unwelcome guests you really don't want to be caught unprepared. You keep your favorite gun in a desk drawer in your home office, but you're not sure you can get to it in time if you are caught in the kitchen. So you keep another gun taped behind the fridge. And maybe just for kicks you keep another gun hidden under the garden gnome in your front yard.
And it may not always be a gun. Duct tape is handy no matter the situation. Keep some in your car, office and work bench. Multiple Identity IDs are popular for spies and criminals. Some characters may have a vehicle loaded with weapons and supplies hidden in a warehouse in case they need to escape in a hurry.
Compare Secret Compartment, Hammerspace, Pillow Pistol, Book Safe and Wall of Weapons and Unlikely Spare. See also Survivalist Stash and Emergency Stash.

In Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman keeps an entire Batcave stocked with supplies on the island the asylum is on just in case. It even has a fully functional Batcomputer and a spare Batclaw.
Batman: Arkham Knight shows that Batman has at least three backup facilities in Gotham proper - Oracle's base in the Clock Tower, an unseen equipment manufactory run by Lucius Fox in Wayne Tower, and a secondary Batcave complex in a run down movie studio.

Terminator movies usually feature a large supply of weapons because Sarah, the mother of the future leader of La Résistance, is expecting both a nuclear war and the subsequent human rebellion against Skynet. The second movie has them buried in the desert and the third movie has them hidden in a mausoleum. Her own mausoleum. Ironically, in the TV series, it's shown that even Skynet has Terminators putting aside hidden supplies for After the End.

After going back in time, Harry Potter in Delenda Est stores over a dozen caches all around Britain including several spare wands, various useful potions, and multiple-destination portkeys. He makes a point of keeping said caches in both areas significant to him and completely random ones, just to ensure no one can find them all.

Alias:
When Jack and Vaughan engage in clandestine activities without CIA approval to help Sydney, Jack takes Vaughan to a secret warehouse he owns that's full of supplies. Vaughan assesses just how many different types of things are in this place (weapons, survival gear, medical equipment, money, you name it) and then realizes something even more important: the fact Jack's letting Vaughan see this place means Jack's got more than one of these secret supply bases.
When Director Chase orders a search of Sydney's house as a result of Elena framing Nadia for her illegal activities, the agents assigned to the search are astonished by the sheer amount of weapons Sydney has stashed around the place.

A flashback in an episode of Chuck once showed Chuck and Bryce Larkin having a mock-shootout with Nerf guns. Just as it seemed like Chuck was going to win, Bryce reached into a bookshelf and pulled out some extra ammo that he had placed there in advance. This memory came in handy later.

Psych: Shawn, Gus and Henry are returning home when they see someone in the living room from the front yard. Henry immediately reaches into the birdhouse and pulls out a stun gun.
In another episode, the bad guy was trying to frame Lassiter for killing a criminal already handcuffed and the final confrontation took place at Lassiter's apartment. The bad guy told him that he took the liberty of removing all of the various side-arms Lassiter kept in the apartment, but forgot the one in the candy bowl. And possibly the shower.

In Human Error Processor, Togusa is being followed, so he stops at a parked car which he opens with his own key. His partner assumes they're going to swap cars to throw off their pursuer, but Togusa says the engine has been removed from this vehicle so it can't be stolen. He then opens the trunk which is packed full of More Dakka.

Star Trek: Picard: When Romulan assassins attack Picard, Laris and Zhaban in the chateau, the trio proceed to fight back with the several phasers they have stashed about the place. And that's just in the dining room! Rather unusual given that Earth is supposed to be a utopia; the fact that Laris and Zhaban are both former members of the Romulan Secret Police may have something to do with it.

Half-Life 2 the Resistance has set up 45 supply cashes hidden around City 17 and the Shore to aid other members. Some of these are well out of the way and may even require a guide (like the one in "ENTANGLEMENT" (hidden above a vending machine) or doing something reckless like driving an airboat towards an Civil Protection APC.
In Episode Two you get a neat little gadget on your car half way through which picks up a signal from transmitters left with the rebels' emergency caches (consisting of ammo and health kits). Places include under the floorboards of an abandoned shack, and hanging from a basket in a tree, there's even an achievement for finding them all.

The final act of The Dark Knight Rises involves Bruce/Batman going to his various supply depots around Gotham to get the ordinance necessary to defeat Bane and his followers. This is after Bane managed to find his primary armory of the "defunct" Wayne R&D warehouse, which gave them some military vehicles very similar to the Tumbler Batman used in the previous movies.

One of the Slice of Life short stories ("Shooting Skeets At Night") involves one of the characters making maintenance on the weapons of one of these, and one of the recurring characters, Roger Hackett, actually uses a Secret Identity to fulfill his assignment of living in one of these in between missions.

In The Broken Earth Trilogy, every community has stores of food and other supplies in the event of the environmental cataclysms called "Fifth Seasons". Some comms hide their stores - Castrima buried theirs in an underground ruin. It is also expected that households and individuals will hide additional supplies under floors or elsewhere. The first thing Essun does when she leaves Tirimo to chase down Jija is to take out her go-bag ("runnysack") from its hiding place. We later learn that she also kept the rings identifying her as a high-ranked member of the Fulcrum concealed in the lining.

He used his position to smuggle grow lights and several tons of high-grade top soil aboard the starship, hidden among the rest of the cargo. These turned out to be unexpectedly useful when the surviving crew needs to start growing crops to supplement their limited food supply.

There are few comforts in Resident Evil games, but most of the save points are decidedly comfortable; hidden out-of-the-way places stocked with supplies that allow you to catch your breath. Even the background music is calming, if still a bit foreboding, enough to make even a battle-hardened player reluctant to leave.

Batman: Being Crazy-Prepared, Batman does this too, though within the house, he's more inclined to have ordinary objects that just "happen" to be usable as weapons lying about. In an issue of Trinity, Bruce Wayne is attacked in the small woods he has on his estate, and is no more than 30 yards from a fake tree with a full set of Bat-gear inside. (The attackers were non-human monsters, so he wasn't worried about exposing his Secret Identity.)
Batman is also known for having another set of Batman gear at the Wayne Enterprises building.
Post-Knightfall he goes so far as to set up a dozen duplicate Batcaves all over Gotham, each stocked with everything from a backup database to spare vehicles. The actual locations vary as required by the plot, but it's usually accepted that one of them is somewhere under Arkham, which is a major plot point in Batman: Arkham Asylum.
In Robin Tim has to go to an old stash of his civilian clothes after The Flash runs him back to Gotham to be with Stephanie while she was giving birth. He finds to his chagrin that he's grown a bit since he hid the handiest clothing stash away and it all fits uncomfortably tight.
In Red Robin it's made clear that not only does Tim have multiple stashes of weapons, clothes and medical supplies hidden around Gotham he's also got at least two stripped down to basics hidden bases with garage space for his bike, tricked out computers and room for him to sleep.

Many post-apocalyptic games include or encourage this. Hidden weapon stashes are common in both the Fallout and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. franchises as desirable targets to loot, with the latter encouraging players to cache food, spare weapons, and other supplies around the wasteland thanks to the various mechanics involved in the game and the more-than-likely chance you'll come back to one of your stashes during an emergency.

The Accountant (2016). After Christian Wolff saves Dana Cummings from assassins, he takes her to the vintage trailer home he has stashed in a storage unit. She starts looking in drawers and finds gold bars, bundles of high denomination bills, and first edition comics and baseball cards. When Wolff interrupts her prying, he opens another drawer and we see a row of passports and credit cards as well. Dana naturally blurts out Who Are You?

He's hidden knives, ninja stars, and swords under his desk, inside the standard potted plants, in the toilet, under the couch in the office, and even inside a file in the filing cabinet, labeled under "A. Knife". Of course, none of this has been used much due to the fact that there aren't many threats in a paper supply company, but one time he did use pepper spray to stop an attacker.
Sister show Parks and Recreation has Ron Swanson, uber-survivalist, who has a pack hidden in an air vent at Pawnee City Hall for when his first ex-wife, Tammy 1, arrives.

The Transporter. Frank's Friend on the Force helps him escape from the police station so he can take on the bad guys. He offers Frank his snub-nosed revolver, then changes his mind when Frank wordlessly shows him an assault rifle and hand grenades he's got stashed on his boat.

The current page image is of John Wick and his freshly-excavated hitman supplies. When he retired, he put it all in a chest and buried it in concrete under the rug in his basement. The scene where Viggo explains Wick's backstory is intercut with the footage of Wick taking a sledgehammer and smashing the concrete. One of the first things Wick does in the sequel after getting his car back is to return all the items to the chest, lower it back underground, and pour fresh concrete. Soon afterwards, however, his house is burned down. He's pulled back into action, so he has to access a secondary stash in a safety deposit box back in the city. Parabellum shows that Wick has even more supplies hidden in a book in the New York Public Library, which he uses to pull various favors. The book itself makes a nice improvised weapon, too.

Superman: The Silver Age Lex Luthor used to be Crazy-Prepared in this way for escaping prison (but only for that, not for defeating Superman). At the very least, he would have a stash of equipment hidden (say, in a fake tree) outside every prison he might get sent to (he was also portrayed as something of an escape artist, so getting outside the prison walls usually wasn't a problem). In some cases, he would however go to the length of actually placing henchmen (or possibly hench androids) in the prison general population, just to ensure that he would have access to the few components needed for his getaway gadget (teleporter, disintegration beam, etc.) that he couldn't pilfer from an ordinary alarm clock or radio, should he ever happen to be sent to that particular prison.

Star Trek: Lower Decks: Mariner has stashes of contraband all over the ship, mostly weapons and booze. In "No Small Parts", this comes in handy when the crew needs weapons to fight off Pakled boarders and Mariner pulls out several caches of melee weapons hidden in a corridor's walls.

The Star League was very fond of this trope in BattleTech, to the point that even three and a half centuries after its collapse, hidden Star League caches full of fully functional Battlemechs, tanks, Aerospace Fighters, guns, and other equipment are still being found in Inner Sphere and Periphery planets and moons.

Five Graves to Cairo: The titular "graves" in this 1942 film are a group of caches of fuel and spare parts the Germans hid deep in the desert back in 1937 (during their Armistice years) and now the Nazis are seeking in order to facilitate their march on the African campaign.

The Professionals:
Bodie and Doyle encounter a veteran member of CI5 who has weapons stashed all over his house in case he's attacked. This causes problems when he turns out to be corrupt and the two have to take him down.
In "Fall Girl", Bodie is framed for an assassination and is on the run from his own organisation. He goes to a lockup and removes a dusty tarpaulin covering a car, which has an assault rifle and other supplies in the boot.

The Killer (2023). The title character has a safe buried under his lawn for his weapons and Multiple Identity IDs. On reaching the United States he uses a storage unit which also has multiple license plates and other items he can use to carry out his contract killings. He narrates that he owns six storage units across the United States, and that he likes to imagine—when the automatic funding eventually dries up—an episode of Storage Wars where they cut the lock on one of his units and their reactions when they discover it loaded with weapons, ammo and other equipment.

In Fablehaven, we meet Civia, one of five Barrier Maidens that keeps a prison full of demons from opening. She's immortal and has lived for thousands of years, and has always lived like she was the only thing keeping the prison from opening. When the heroes arrive to take her away to a safe house, she immediately directs them a stash of weapons, survival clothing, and vehicles. According to her, it's one of many.

Post-Knightfall he goes so far as to set up a dozen duplicate Batcaves all over Gotham, each stocked with everything from a backup database to spare vehicles. The actual locations vary as required by the plot, but it's usually accepted that one of them is somewhere under Arkham, which is a major plot point in Batman: Arkham Asylum.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Sarah's house is built for full scale battle: guns in the walls, guns in the umbrella rack, guns in bags, Kevlar lining the furniture... the cops are pretty impressed when they search the place. They even keep guns in the oh-so-handy in-bed compartments on one of the group's Dodge trucks. In the second season, it is revealed that truly sensitive items are kept in a sealed safe buried under the floor of the house. The family also keeps a small warehouse that houses their entire personal armory.
Ironically even Skynet is shown doing this trope, with Terminators collecting useful materials and stashing them far from the city so they can be retrieved after the war breaks out.

Kind of played for laughs in The Punisher (2004). Frank was fighting the hitman known as "The Russian" and Frank would grab certain weapons he had hidden around his apartment, but would systematically be either shrugged off or totally neutralized by the hitman. The look on Frank's face when the Russian smashes his revolver with a dumbbell is priceless.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Pinkie Pie has these for things that no sane pony would need an emergency supply of. Among the more obvious are her stashes of bouncy balls hidden all over ponyville, quote, "in case of ball emergency." The same episode also mentions her similarly-purposed hidden stashes of eyepatches.

In Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, the Major is shown to have a large weapon stash on the under side of an underwear drawer at one of her safehouses.
In Human Error Processor, Togusa is being followed, so he stops at a parked car which he opens with his own key. His partner assumes they're going to swap cars to throw off their pursuer, but Togusa says the engine has been removed from this vehicle so it can't be stolen. He then opens the trunk which is packed full of More Dakka.

Burn Notice: In one episode Michael let a supposed bureaucrat into his apartment only to find out the guy was a hitman. Michael's narration explained that you can't be absolutely sure of every variable, but he wanted to have the meeting in his apartment because he had home field advantage. Michael reached under the sink and pulled out a gun he had taped there.
In another episode, he heard someone approaching his front door (this was a time when a rival spy was out to kill him) and Michael reached into the fridge and quickly pulled out a gun.
Voice-overs in several episodes discuss the merits of different ways to hide supplies; from burying them in walls and under floors, making them hard to find but also hard to access, to hiding things in fake electrical utility boxes that are easy to access but obvious when you access them.
And as the page quote tells, Michael and friends have several storage units with guns and explosives hidden all around Miami (sadly no fridge for yogurt or beer). Detective Paxson once almost discovered one of these units, but upon getting the search warrant she found the unit empty, with a hole cut out of the back and out of view of her survellaince team...
