We have been through this process as well...

We adopted 19yrs ago and the entire process was a long and drawn out affair that I thought would never end. While I understood the reason for the intense scrutiny and had absolutely nothing to hide, it did wear on us, and me in particular, as it approached the 18 months mark.

The home study was very thorough, but the presence of guns in our home did not pose a problem for us even though our case worker was somewhat of a stickler. However, I would say that nowadays, the caseworker could prove to be your biggest problem concerning the guns.
