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 reason has been shared Scott Larson
Interesting, he’s no better than the thugs he’s suppose to be going after….. maybe they need a new sheriff in town…. just sayin.
A little paranoid huh?? I understand you guys are under a lot of stress but to make a comment like that about law abiding gun owners is just nuts!
This is old and out of context. Stop spreading this b******t
Did anyone read this story or did y’all read it!!!!!!!!! And I really don’t believe in open carry. In robbery you’ll be the first one they shoot if they want your pistol they’ll just wait till your not paying them any attention walk up behind you and put a bullet into your head. Can you say advantage bad guy.
