I can leave out guns, (bug)bombs, and idling Ducati motorcycles in every room in the house (except the Ducati's we're talking finite engine time) if I am of a mind.

(EDIT: again this is not meant to be hostile to the poster)

Makes perfect sense to me. The wife did describe what weapons were in the house and where they should be. The Officer was checking to see if they had been stolen. Maybe not proper, but seems like the immediate thing to do.

I would have to disagree, once he cleared the house he can have the home owner look for any missing items, he has no need to go through drawers unless like pointed out before a burgler can hide in one.

I asked about what and she said that he "found" our handguns, one in each nightstand, loaded, holstered with flashlights right next to them.

I'd be less upset about him yelling at my wife than I would be about him obviously rifling through our drawers.

That was exactly my thought. What the heck business of his what's in your nightstand? As long as the drawer is too small to hold a burglar, the contents of that drawer are none of his business. What other drawers did he rifle through? Your wife's lingerie? I mean, that is one creepy cop; and he ought to be disciplined for his obviously warrantless search of your personal possessions - particularly when those possessions have nothing to do with whether or not a burglar is in the house.

Thats a serious point.
