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 that is a crime, likeaggrivated battery or even attrmpted murder
It’s sad that a person in his job cares less about his fellow man
He should be terminated immediately for violating his oath and openly admitting to going against the second amendment which he swore to uphold. He lied.
Stupid ass
F**k that peace of$#%&!@* pull him off the force bad pig he is not a police officer I respect the police
He can be sued if theres one of his citizens got shot or being rob without him presences with his gun to protect after his statement
There is case precedent in the US for shooting cops that are unlawfully arresting or attempting to harm you. Since he has said he would do so, which constitutes assault, any carrier that sees this man will have a strong case to shoot him on site.
That is one cop that needs to be shot!!!
Problem with this? Legal owners would have the right to shoot back… Sooo, now what?
It goes both ways baldy
