So, I have one question. >> Yes. >> This is private property, not public. >> But this officer tries to stop a man who is lawfully filming and openly carrying a firearm on public property outside a police station.

People walk up and open fire police stations or police cars. That's a pretty dangerous activity. >> No one's saying you can't video when you pull up here wearing a firearm. We don't know if you're a threat or not. >> So, I'd hate to treat you as one and you and you be straight up. You understand me? >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. So, do me a favor cuz you're on our property. If you want a video video away, put the gun in your car. So, by law, I have to put my gun in the car to video. Even though >> you're on We're not We're not in the public.
