He didn't "make up a law".
He never charged anybody with a violation of any "law", made up or otherwise.
He confiscated the weapon..didn't "steal it"..the guy will get it back. The officer may have gone against dept. policy, may have opened himself/his dept. up to a civil suit.
Was the cop right here? Don't know the state/local law to answer that. I also haven't heard the officer articulate why he believed the permit to be invalid. On the face of the story I would say no.
Still. If this is the first and only problem with this cop this event is far from a firing event IMO.
