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.

Well if I carry there and he comes by I guess I will shoot him first
Another murderous bloodthirsty bully abusing the little bit of power that is allotted to him. Of course he will be afraid for his life in every instance, regardless of this recorded statement…..and I’m also sure he will never be prosecuted.
What an$#%&!@*clown…
It’s fools like him why law abiding citizens need a gun
who freakin cares I can’t and or don’t worry about about others… I carry cancelled and have never been approached by a cop.. I guess I don’t act like a fool or break the law. If I was ever asked I would just show them my license. what is the big deal
Wouldn’t that be a terroristic threat? A crime that could disqualify him from keeping his job?
I doubt this is true if it is he should be fired
He needs to be removed
Typical elected official !
What an idiot
