One has the absolute right to silence until conferring with one's legal representative, yet, the Firearms Act demands that one, upon being subjected to a home inspection, must allow the investigating officer to have free access to all areas of one's domicile, with the potential of incriminating oneself by trying to be "helpful".

My understanding is the inspector can only inspect the room where the firearms are stored. So build a closet in the basement to put them in.
They can not randomly search, but anything in "plain view" while walking to the closet is fair game. So Geoff put the pot plants in the spare bedroom along with all those leather apparatus's that I care not to know further about.

If I am wrong on the inspection area, please do correct me.
