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.

You pull your gun on me and your a dead man.
I can’t believe he’s a lawyer and would make these statements. If he had a legit shooting this would undoubtedly be introduced to a grand jury and could result in any number of unfavorable things happening to him.
Mother fucker better be a good shot and kill me first
This idiot forgets that CC owners have the legal right to protect themselves, even against a renegade cop
I think he needs to rethink his line of work
What is this traitor going to do if people with legal gun owners who has concealed carry permit get close to him say near public places? Again once a stupid is always and a LAW enforcement officer?
He should be fired
Traitor
Vote this pos out of office
After comments like this I feel this man should be promptly removed from his position. Any person that legally carries a fire arm does so within the perameters of the law. By his statements he would be violating the laws that he is sworn to defend. I could go on and on about this but I won’t.
