A divided Ninth Circuit panel on August 27, 2026 left California Penal Code section 26806 standing, so the Goldwater Institute filed an October 23 amicus brief seeking full-court rehearing of Richards v. Newsom. Since January 1, 2024 federally licensed firearms dealers including home-based operators must record video and audio continuously in designated areas, keep the files a year, and allow government inspection. Adam Richards uses a detached residential office for his FFL, half his law work, and family visits; Judge Lucy Koh found no Fourth Amendment search, Judge Kenneth Lee dissented, and the law stays in force.
