How the hell do they 'seize your house pending the approval of a search warrant'? They either have a warrant or they don't. If they don't, aren't citizens within their rights to tell 'em to buzz off and not come back without said warrant?
I just had an argument today with a friend over just this kind of situation. I said if they came for my guns, I'd give them all the ones that had paper. He was aghast that I wouldn't shoot it out instead of handing them over. Can ya imagine?! I'd be a blip in the newspaper's obituary column with the blight of a 'suspected meth-lab' hanging on my dead name on the front page. Nope. Better to live another day to SUE their ass.
