It could be worse. Story from Ausatralia years ago. The plod called on a homeowner while he was at work. The wife said he was not home, but they insisted "we have to see his firearms to make sure they are in compliance." He had left the keys to his safe with his wife, and they finaly browbeat her into opening the safe. When he came home, they cuffed him and marched him to the police car. Reason? he had left an UNAUTHORIZED person with access to his gun safe!
