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.

So another sheriff against the rights of citizens? What exactly is he saying? He is against the Law and wants to pick a gun fight with law abiding citizens? Apparently he is just another picture of what is wrong.
He is a nut–good gosh and he is a cop==scary
Put him in Hillary’s cabinet!
Hey jackass, Im a retired leo here in Tampa, and there are many more like me who carry concealed. You better really think about what you just said. If florida goes to open carry, people still have to pass background checks to possess and purchase firearms. This is not your world, you just live in it. Learn to adapt you coward. It affect all law enforcement.
You people actually elected a stupid idiot!
I respect law enforcement, but if this is the way this guy thinks, he has no business being a sheriff!!
Does he not know what legal means it’s better than being illegal what’s illegal has the rights
Sounds to me they need to elect him out of office. If he is scared of a law abiding citizen to have a gun then he should not be in law enforcement. He is a danger to society. Not the people
Then you will be charged with murder you egg sucking liberal scum.
Guess who won’t be reelected…..
