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.

Why is he not in jail?
Should be stripped of his badge
Douche……
Time to remove the sheriff. Obviously to liberal thinking where he can only have 1 in the name of protecting you. I can only say sheriff you can’t be there for everyone all the time. And response time is not always quick enough. So if I drive in pinellas county (which is often) I will have to keep an eye out for you ? You need to resign just for being a dumbass
No due process, just harassment. Typical libbie
What are you going to do when HR218 carriers come through your town. Are you going to target honorably retired military and LEO’s and fire upon them as well. Love to see you try with this retired veteran of law enforcement. “Men” like YOU are why honorable men and woman of law enforcement are being targeted far too often these days- your ignorant opinions and jabber jawing reflect on the treatment and mistreatment of every cop out there. You speak for many more than yourself when you flap that ball washer of an aperture under your nose. “No one allowed to carry in my county but wittle old me”… I will be packing heavy under HR216 in your town pal and encourage anyone legally permitted to do so to take liberty in doing the same until this guy takes his ball and goes home. Don’t get mad at ALL police when you hear stories like this… go after the$#%&!@*hat that just threatened your LIFE for exercising your right to carry (these are the scary mama jammas that need to be exposed- directly and swiftly). Make sure guys like “Sheriff I got my lunch money stolen every day and became a cop to dole out payback” not permitted to guard, so much as, a Burger King parking lot.
