An empty holster is now a weapon at the University of South Alabama, after campus police cited student D.J. Parten for wearing one on campus.

The holster led to an encounter with campus police, a video obtained by Campus Reform shows. Ironically, Parten was wearing the holster to protest the school’s ban on all weapons on campus.

Parten was cited with violating Section 7G and 7N of the student code of conduct, the first of which references “engaging in activities that threaten the safety of the campus community” and “intentionally initiating or causing any false report, warning or threat of fire, explosion, or other emergency.”

Section 7N says students may not violate rules, regulations or policies, according to Campus Reform.
