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.

This cop my friends is an idiot!
That’s the difference, try threatening a cop, judge, scumbag politician, president, anyone in the elite status, and your up shits creek, but threaten me or you …nothing.. I guess our lives don’t matter
Need to be fired
The mere fact that he threatened to shot me gives me the right to shot him to protect myself!
I’ll shoot back, and I’m always training to be faster and more accurate that most law enforcement
Looks like there’s gonna be a new Sheriff in town!
What a power hungry loser.
I can his days are numbered.
Time to elect a new sherriff and send this one to a gun free zone..
He’s an asshole
