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.

Well said
You let your mouth overload your brain. Should have been clearer in your original comments.
His job is to protect our constitutional rights as citizens. Looks like he has a death wish !!!
This my friends is a$#%&!@*
Wow. This poor idiot sheriff is gonna get himself killed. What a waste of hot air.
Ass hole is going to get himself and others shot over stupid comments. His own words will be used against him in court IF he survives.
Karl Trippn absolutely false. As I retired NYPD Detective I know two who are in jail one for manslaughter one for ARMED robbery.
Sounds like an$#%&!@*hole that is going to get his own….
The good guy would be happy to see a cop and would lower the weapon if it was even ever pointed at the cop. This guy simply needs removed from his role of Sheriff.
