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.

So basically he is thretening to commit pre mediated murder…and this guy is not in jail because…?
STUPID ! He should never be allowed to be a Sheriff if that is how he feels about leagal gun owners !!
if he shoots legal gun owners who are legally carrying then he should be charged with murder and given the death penalty
Seems like Ol’ Sparky here is asking for a legally owned, Constitutionally guaranteed, openly provoked bullet in his liberal Democrat but otherwise empty head
See what happens when you give a Liberal a badge?
Well, he’s through!
So he’s going to commit first degree murder. WOW!
He is not long for this Earth and it wont be done by a legal armed citizen.
I’d say he’s got a target on his back with that kind of talk…shame on him.
If he said this…then natural selection will take care of the problems on its own.
