A University of South Alabama student who was carrying an empty holster on campus was cited Wednesday for “causing alarm” — and the exchange he had with police was captured on video.

D.J. Parten, president of Students for Concealed Carry at the university, was protesting along with with fellow student Kenneth Tews, as well as promoting the new documentary, “Can We Take a Joke?” which explores America’s so-called “outrage culture,” Campus Reform reported.

According to the university’s website, “all weapons are prohibited in University housing buildings, parking lots and on University property.”

“This includes, but is not limited to, bullets, ball bearing bullets, bullet balls, pellets, firearms, guns, knives, paintball guns, air guns, hunting bows, archery bows, swords, martial arts weapons and replicas of such weapons. Toy water guns are prohibited,”

arten informs the officer that he was only carrying a holster and did not have a weapon. But the officer again asks Parten if he got “permission” to wear it.

“To wear a holster?” Parten asks. “I don’t need permission to wear it.”

The officer tells Parten that the school has a “no weapons” policy and again, Parten points out that he isn’t carrying a gun, just a holster.
