It's not binding precedent but what do you think will happen to the next DA presented a U-15 stock and a copy of the dismissal?

I realize your first point, and your second question is exactly what I was thinking. In some instance another DA is going to think the first DA caved too easily and charge forward. I certainly expect you are more right than the scenario I am thinking about.
A follow on action for some sort of unlawful prosecution would seem reasonable to me if that were possible. Otherwise the door is left open for continued harassment of OLL owners (and potentially any gun owner).
But I am not a lawyer and really don't know much about how precedent is created. Thanks for the analysis Gene.
