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.

This dumbass is going to get himself killed.
Then you should be prepared to be removed from office because CCL people are the majority and voters! Remember, YOU work for US!
He carries a weapon but wants no one else to do so. Sounds like he has a job that increases his fear level to a point of irrationality. Time to find a different job, sheriff. Would like to see the results of his psychological testing.
Then legal gun owners have the right to shoot you for murder.
This guy has no business being a police officer let alone to have a gun if he thinks he has to shoot law abiding citizen’s when they are in the right or even threatening them with lethal force, we have a constitutional right to bare arm’s.
Um to serve and protect that’s his only job is he on a power trip or something
Asshole
Idiot
Pinellas County has always been corrupt.
Time to vote him out!!
