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.

Dont do it! You will start a war! Let cooler heads prevail!
Isn’t that a terroristic threat and anyone under threat can rightfully press charges?
Well I interpret it to be, regardless if you are a permitted carrier, if you point your gun at him, he will shoot you
He’s one of those jerks who became a police officer just so he could carry a gun. Now he’s pissed off because any law abiding citizen can carry one. I know several cops like that. Difference is they never said anything like he did.
This bag of c**p has admitted that he is going to commit murder!
If shot at it becomes self defense.
