A sheriff in Pinellas County, Florida has a warning for anyone willing to come near him with a gun, he’s threatening them with his own.
The locally known anti-gun cop made the statements in response to open carry legislation being floated in his city. It attempts to make arming law abiding citizens easier, so that they can better defend themselves should they find their lives at risk.
How ironic that a man who fears for his own life in the presence of lawful gun ownership should resort to the very thing that he opposes — a gun — in order to protect himself.
It’s unlikely the cop thought of that before he threatened to kill the very citizens he’s employed to protect.
Cops have been put in a bad light recently for shooting at criminals when they think that their lives are in danger. It has been proven time and time again that their actions are reasonable and legal in a court of law. This man, however, may be the face of what a bad cop looks like: one who openly tries to take a citizen’s gun by threatening to use his own.

Fire his ass
Needs to be recalled as unfit.
Sounds like he went to the same school as the agents who murdered lavoy finnicum.
What a idiot!
I’m pretty sure he’s outnumbered….
Come to Tennessee tough guy.
If a Sheriff advocates the shooting of a law abiding citizen, just because he disagrees with the law, is he not violating the law, no different than any other citizen for advocating the shooting of an armed police officer?
This man has proven to be unfit to carry the duties he was sworn to uphold, and the citizens of the city he happens to work for will be responsible for the death of any citizen this man decides to kill, during his tenure, for his disagreement over this law or any other law he happens to disagree with.
You best remember the second amendment !!!
Idiot, anti American idiot, make my day.
I am so sorry for you to hear you feel this way.
