States have the right to make their laws more restrictive than Federal laws. That is one of the benefit of having a Federalist system. States however do not have the right to make laws differently from the Federal statutes.

If you look at the California law, it in itself, no way limits a person's right under the new interpretation from the Supreme Court under Heller, restrict ownership of a gun for home defense. California just applied a more stricter standard to home ownership but individuals are still able to own a gun despite restrictions. Heller only clarify that ownership of a 'handgun' is allowed for home defense.
