Maybe permit was the wrong word, and maybe times have changed as I was diving into the past.
But I'm still pretty sure when you go for a weapons license of this kind that you give up your rights to search warrant of the listed property where the guns are kept. (Must be in a safe as well)
I didn't get my class 3 dealer for this very reason. Didn't want to give up my rights to just to own some guns that if I ever shot a person with would be bad legal troubles.

Being a dealer with a Class II or Class III S.O.T. isn't the same as a retail customer buying a suppressor.
"...you give up your rights to search warrant of the listed property where the guns are kept."
In most cases, if you have a Class II or III S.O.T. (Along with the proper FFL) then you are not running the business out of your home and therefore do not give up any rights of your home being searched. If your FFL is at your home then thats a different story. Either way, when a customer buys an NFA item, they give up no such rights for a search without a warrant. The law applies only to dealers and manufacturers and only at their place of business.
