Query: Is it legal to buy lots of those plastic emergency gas cans and use it to transport/store gasoline for my own personal use?

I'm theorizing yes, and if it isn't illegal, it's probably not very safe.
As long the gas can is approved (must have a vent) and you fill it up on the ground (not on a truck bed) you should be OK. I would STRONGLY discourage keeping a whole boatload of emergency gas cans, as the explosive power of one gallon of gas is equivalent to about 15 sticks of dynamite.
