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.

Fired!
Sounds like a plea to be released from duty vote him out
Don’t be surprised if we shoot back.
Should be IMMEDIATELY fired for violating his oath of office to uphold and defend the constitution. What a douchebag!!!
This is why cops get shot
So if he draws on a legal gun owner
I’m unable to verify that this idiot shot himself…could somebody point me towards a legitimate source that proves this allegation?
So when someone shoots and kills him, it will be done in self defense. He just handed any good defense attorney an acquittal.
Let him try, he will die being shot by law abiding gun-owners in self defense.
Hopefully he shoots himself then
