In the 28-second video, the security guard spun the firearm around his fingers several times before placing it in his holster.
"It is against common sense to do that but more so against policy. A firearm is a very dangerous thing; you don’t play with it the way he played with it. That could be regarded as reckless, immature and irresponsible,” Overton said.
He said firearm permit has been sent to the Firearm Licensing Authority with a recommendation for its revocation.
