WATCH: Police Called on Gun Owners Group Meeting at The Depot

A report of people carrying guns at The Depot Coffee House last month turned out to be a gun owners group with permits to carry their weapons.

About 20 members of the Twin Cities Gun Owners & Carry Forum had gathered at The Depot on March 9 for their “2nd Saturday 2A Coffee & Chat,” the group posted on Facebook. While they were there, police arrived and said they’d received a call about people carrying weapons.

Police reports list a weapons call at 11:13 a.m. March 9 at The Depot.

YouTube user MNRKBA posted a video of the encounter. In the video, a police officer asks an unseen woman what’s going on. She says she’s with “Twin Cities Gun Owners" and “Minnesotans for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.”

The woman says one of the group’s goals is to educate people in a calm and peaceful manner

“We have a huge public perception problem, and people don’t realize that the law does not require concealment,” the woman says. “I just think that we should be allowed to live our lives and abide by the law and exercise our rights.”

The officer explains that the department received a call, says he doesn’t have a problem with them carrying guns and asks if everyone has their carrying permits.

The officers and the gun owners group talk for a few minutes and then part ways on pleasant terms.

“We’re all law-abiding gun owners,” the woman says at one point.
