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.

Paul Tolson your assumption is 100% on…those that seem to think open carry is such a wonderful thing are just inviting trouble to themselves…conceal and carry and have a chance…
Heres our problem, idiots like this
and that is why NOBODY trust the cops because they are so quick to shoot and kill anybody,we have a right to carry THE 2amendment
THIS UNAMERICAN IS VERGING TREASON, and JUST MIGHT FIND himself SHOT.
Come get mine?
“Good Sheriff”? I don’t think so. He is almost standing by himself among sheriffs.
A lot of the problems police have with their image is brought on by people like this jerk.
THAT’S MURDER. THAT BADGE DOES NOT YOU THE RIGHT TO BE JUDGE AND JURY. JUST HIS COMMENTS ALONE, HE SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM HIS DUTIES.
Section 8.
He’s a clear and present danger to the public welfare of his citizens.
He needs to be in jail.
If I have a CONCEALED weapon, how would he know ?
