The only value of a right is the thing it entitles you to - nothing more.
The right to take a photograph of a station is worth no more than the photo of a station.
Your problem is you seem to ascribe some kind of mystical other worth to the thing.
If we get back to the original post - this guy could have saved every bit of trouble he is in simply by being meek and keeping his head down. But this fantastic believe that his right to have a gun has some other mystic worth beyond the use he might of made of the gun at that time (which was none, since he hardly needs to protect himself when two police are right there) caused him to act in an offensive and aggressive way and catch a case because of it.
