I kinda agree with you but, as the officer understood the law(no matter how wrong) it is illegal to bring a firearm into a liquor store under the 51%provision he was acting within the color of his authority(again no matter how wrong he was) he it seems possibly chose a different route than arresting and charging the OP by removing the weapon from the OP and the store. Yes his training is apparently substandard or he ignored it and is willfully ignorant and negligent but if he had chosen to call the local PD it would have been more of a pain as well if the local pd agreed with him.
Is "as he understood the law" the standard in all cases? Seems kind of lax for physically assaulting someone.
Yes it is, thanks to our wonderful SCOTUS. Heien vs North Carolina, 8-1 vote with Sotomayor was the one and only dissent.
