Yep, that's how one site rendered the author's name when I tried to mention him.

You are plain wrong when you say:
"The Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) has announced a legal tweak intended to allow police officers to turn up at the homes of gun owners, without warning, and demand to inspect guns stored on the premises."
They cannot "without warning [...] demand to inspect guns [lawfully] stored on the premises".
They can turn up at your door unannounced.
They can *ask* to check your security measures.
You can tell them to piss off.
Unfortunately, anyone who legally holds a shotgun/firearm probably wouldn't be best advised to tell the plod to piss off, but the plod can't turn up unannounced and *demand* to inspect your security arrangements or weapons.
