Police interrogation video of a Richard Chambless, who was arrested for open carrying in Bald Knob, Arkansas. Chief of Police Erek Balentine incorrectly reads a law that states it is illegal to "unlawfully employ" a handgun. Toward the end of the video, Chief Balentine becomes very irate and yells at the Chambless after he refuses to acknowledge that he has no right to carry a weapon because, according to the chief, there is no law which allows him to carry a firearm. Chambless consistently brings up the Second Amendment and the fact that the absence of a law explicitly stating he has a right to carry a firearm isn't required, because the 2nd Amendment gives him that right.

Chief Balentine also stole Chambless' police scanner, claiming that the only reason he has for using it is because he's engaging in illegal acts and needs to monitor where the police officers' are, so he can get away. That is in spite of the fact that Chambless heard on the scanner that they were looking for him over the firearm and called to inform them of his location.

Update: Chief Balentine has now resigned: http://www.copblock.org/142156/arkansas-police-chief-open-carry-arrest-video-resigned/
