If they come to my home for anything other than directions, I'll have them arrested.

I live in Germany. German weapons laws clearly state that if you are armed with a firearm while committing a crime, there is a mandatory five year jail sentence. It’s one of the harshest laws on the books here.

They wouldn’t make it that far, though. If German cops see a vehicle without license plates, they’ll be pulled over immediately. If they say “ICE!” well, in German (written “Eis” but pronounced the same), that usually (though not always, depending on context) means “ice cream,” so the German cops, while slapping on the cuffs, might ask, “what flavor?”
