Bostonians Prepare As Police Plan House-To-House 'Warrantless' Search For Guns

Of course, the program is completely "voluntary." But a pretty, sickeningly sweet PR campaign is being built to promote the "Safe Homes" initiative. They plan to knock on doors of private houses, and ask if they can search for illegal guns without a warrant.

"To further put residents at ease, officers will wear civilian clothes and try to look like office workers on casual Friday rather than FBI agents, French said. 'They won't go in there in a three-piece suit.' "

"Some clergy members have apparently volunteered to accompany police on the searches because they are suspicious of their intent."

And records of those homeowners and residents who do NOT permit police to search their homes will not be kept, right? I haven't seen that mentioned.

Finally, will someone PLEASE tell me what an "illegal gun" is?
