Unfortunately, in my country there is no 4th amendment so they actually come by to check if I have my guns in the safe unannounced. Highly annoying, especially since most of the cops know jack shit about the laws regarding firearms. Gun bad, hmkay? So they cite you for something that's perfectly legal, you have to appeal, blablabla. Drains energy. Oh, particularly fun if they shout from ground level - I live on the third- "POLICE! WEAPONS CHECK!". Sure my neighbors would love to hear that.
Actually, most of the American Bill of Rights was eviscerated by George Bush Jr. in 2001 with the signing of The Patriot Act into law. Now, all the government has to do is label you an enemy combatant (as they did with the J6 protesters) and you lose all Bill of Rights/Constitutional protections. This is why the J6 protesters have been held without bail, without a court date, without formal charges, etc. years after they were arrested and put in a Federal prison. This should have been a wake up call to every American Citizen, but unfortunately most Americans can be dressed in one of two quotes...

Don't ever give up that 4th amendment right.
