If one follows Terry vs Ohio, the officers should have stated that they were detaining him, taken TEMPORARY possession of the rifle, and then questioned as to his actions to establish if he was a treat. Then, once determined that he was within his legal rights, returned the firearm and been about their merry way.

I don't think that works. Don't the police have to believe that a crime has been committed in order to detain? Isn't this why New York has had to eliminate their "stop and frisk" tyranny?

“to establish if he was a treat.”

“Trick or Treat!!”

Exercising ones Constitutional rights is not grounds for detainment.
What was clearly done was a civil rights violation of the 2nd Amendment.
People seem to be stuck on Color being the only civil right in America.

Nope. He was a trick.
