Visit from ATF

[Fjold]

Well, if ATF comes calling there are a few things you should do. Open your door, step outside and close your door behind you - talk on the front step/porch. Ask to see a warrant. If they don't have a warrant, don't tell them much other than that all your arms are legal. Don't consent to a search. Tire quickly of them and nicely ask them to leave.

If they do have a warrant, let them in. Keep your gun safe locked. Leave unless they tell you you are under arrest. Call an attorney.

OK, I need some clarification if you all have time/expertise:

IIRC,
A search warrant must specify what they are searching for and thus it limits them in what they can look at. Example; if they are looking for a stolen snowmobile they cannot look in your nightstand drawer, but they can look in all rooms of the house, garage, etc.

My questions are:
If the warrant specifies that they are looking for illegal weapons does that mean that they cannot look in a locked gun safe unless the safe is specifically noted on the warrant?

What if you have multiple safes and only gunsafe (singular) is listed on the warrant?
