Detroit, Michigan.<\/strong> <\/em>Two open carry<\/strong><\/em> advocates walked into Dearborn Police<\/a> Station<\/em> <\/strong>recently brandishing GUNS<\/em> <\/strong><\/a>as a ‘protest’ to what they see as unfair harassment for carrying their rifles in public. The men, believed to be one James Baker<\/em><\/strong> and a man known only as ‘Brandon<\/strong><\/em>‘ at this time strolled in expecting to be able to lodge a formal complaint. Instead? They got guns pointed at them and handcuffs on their wrists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident was filmed by the men and streamed onto Baker’s Facebook<\/em> <\/strong><\/a>account live. Before they entered the building, one of them addressed the camera, referencing a previous encounter with an officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘We’re going to go in and file a complaint because we were illegally pulled over about an hour ago. We felt a little afraid for our lives as we were pulled over so we figured we better protect ourselves.’<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the pair brazenly walked into the police station, an officer can be heard shouting ‘Dude! Put that on the ground!’<\/em> Another officer then comes out and both pull their weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At one point during the heart-stopping moment, one of the open carry men is heard defending their rights and actions by saying: ‘It’s all legal sir’.<\/em> The officers continue to bark at them to put their weapons down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The men were then placed under arrested. It seems that second amendment rights<\/strong> <\/em>do not trump<\/a> general laws about pointing guns at police officers…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one seriously tense situation. Here is the video that Mr. Baker streamed live on Facebook<\/strong><\/em><\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here is a news report on the incident:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
