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.

One patriotic sheriff protecting citizens from gun nuts from hurting or killing more innocent people. God bless him
If this is true it makes you rethink how they even got elected because any true American gun owner will not stand for that talk
The constitution says America will shoot back
simple fix, get him out of office, he is an elected official after all…
and he definitely does not deserve to hold this office…
if true, the citizens of that county should remove him from office….he is an elected official after all…
It will only happen 1 time, before concealed carriers defend their rights, and fire back. Thats what 2A is for.
I’ve never been a law enforcement officer. I’ve never walked up to cars at night to ask for a drivers license, or entered a home or building when some has called 911. I’ve never tried to stop a fight or get between a drunk abusive husband and his wife. If I was in law enforcement, I would completely understand the Sheriff. A guy with a gun is a good citizen until he shoots you…problem is, you’re dead when you realize he’s a bad guy with a gun.
I’ll drop his$#%&!@*first
Oh, so what is good for thee is wrong for me? You, sir, lack the proper temperament for law enforcement.
I hope he enjoys his last term in office. What an idiot.
