As I recall, a federal law was passed some 15 or 20 years ago that provides for safe transport of privately (civilian as well as military) owned guns through all states as long as the owner has a legal reason to do so. As federal law is superior to state law, the gun owner may have reason to sue the state of California and the officer(s) involved. While I don't ordinarily like the idea of suing LEO's who are doing their jobs, there are instances where they prey on innocent people and depend upon their position to insulate them from repercussion. This, IMO, is one of those times.
