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.

What a nut case.
This sheriff better shot me with first shot. He won’t get 2 off
Really
You have to look at his whole statement. This is not what he said.
He needs to be relieved of duty based on his mental health.
Dead man walking .
In your$#%&!@*will get shot back. I have the right to defend myself against any physical threat to me or my family, even if it’s a trigger happy cop. That’s what the founders intended was for the population to be arm so that tyranny would not prevail.
This guy needs to loose his job
This an attitude that some cops adapt to tell themselves I’m the cop nobody is suppose to have gun but me! ME! Needs to be taken down a notch good$#%&!@*wiping should do!
Tell that douche bag to come to my county
