I am with the one dude, if it can help, I would answer questions, but there ain't no way they are getting in. If they do come back with a warrant, it better be justified, or I am calling a lawyer, and will be sunning in Cuba in the spring.

They could turn my house upside-down and find nothing that they could even write me a ticket for, but I would still not let them in the door. I don't believe in the, "If you've got nothing to hide..." mentality. Ultimately they would be able to get into my home without warrant, anyway, on the premise of checking that my firearms are properly stored.
The problem, as I see it, is that they're implying guilt based on a desire to maintain personal privacy. You have a right to say, "No." when police ask to search your home. The threat of getting a warrant is a hollow one. Saying that you won't LET them search isn't a valid reason for a warrant.
