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.

Ben Bushong, how do you know his statement was taken out of.context? Please elaborate.
Alrigjt folks, I’ve purchased 3 of my last 7 guns at a gun show amd this B******T about there being some loophole and no background check is exactly that…B******T! I had to do the whole 9 yards in paperwork amd the waiting period, etc etc. So stop with the disingenuous misinformation! I’m so freaken tired of the lins and their dishonesty when it comes to guns. Sad truth is that most of the liberal ‘statesmen’ have armed security in the guarded, gated homes and outside them as well, so in my humble, honest, noncriminal opinion, they need to STFU about my fucking guns!

I say if they challenge a law officer with their gun, blow their sorry$#%&!@*away.
