But the rub is that the COE give the cops the authority to do NO WARNING surprise inspection of your address on the COE. If you're a private citizen, and not a gun store, your address is .... your home!

The concern is that this one certificate by law gives the cops authority to do surprise inspections of your private residence, which I think is a total violation of your 4th amendment rights.

Never count on California to do the smart thing.

Well for what it's worth the vast majority of officers (that I know) up here in Idaho agree that we would not want to be cops down in California. For so many different reasons.
