Frankly thats not how our legal system works generally.
However, a wrongful arrest lawsuit should net him from $5 to $25k based on other firearm rights/wrongful arrest settlements I am aware of.
As far as "test case", highly unlikely this will ever go to trial. The statute language is so clear, that is why it is so clearly a wrongful arrest.
