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.

The citizens should take his gun hes a danger to lawful citizens
he will wind up dying in same manner. THE FOOL!!!!
Thanx for the warning.
Anyone with a badge or not points a gun at you that is your right and Duty to defend yourself. You point a gun at me without proper probable cause you better be faster than me because somebody will die that day. The 2nd amendment… I’d put my neck on the line to defend it, and any of my American brothers and sisters from all enemies FOREIGN and DOMESTIC. What happened to being proud of where our country came from? Did the effects of 9/11 dissappear? United we stand is far more than a saying. You wonder why the middle east looks at Americans as pathetic and weak? We preach freedom from the end of the leashes we allow our government masters to slap around our necks. The same government that won’t ever prosecute the sheriff and furthermore will allow him to keep his job and benefits. If he ever does follow through with his plan will probably just push him into early retirement and I doubt they’ll even take his pension. Think about that and how we as a society allow this to happen all the time all over this once great country, and then go to the Mirror and say I’m proud to be an American… see if you still believe yourself. The power of society standing together is an unmeasurable Force that no bullet could ever kill. Every citizen of that community should actively shut the city down until charges are pressed against him. 1000 plus people peacefully surrounding the police station and the courthouse in protest in front of cameras and news crews will turn heads and may even Force the local government to take action against this terrorist policeman. Never give up on your freedom and never give up on the rights that you have thanks to our constitution. If there’s anything I can do to help the citizens my countrymen you can get ahold of me right here and let me know what I can do to help. God Bless America and God bless my fellow Americans.
What a$#%&!@*!
You got a problem you do not need to be sheriff you outlaw SOB!
Idiot someone will take him out at long range theirs meny that can !!
No I think is misunderstood, at least I hope. It seems to me he was saying that in that type of situation he has to know that you are not a threat. I live in Pinellas county and would expect that Law Enforcement would expect your compliance. I would not want someone running toward me with a gun if I was unsure what their real intentions are. Hey these guys put their lives on the line every day and if in the same position would also be quite careful.
I hope they shoot back, and protect their constitutional rights.
Go ahead violate my constitutional rights if I’m concealed carry and you draw me I’ll shoot your ass
