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.

He better draw first then
What???!!! Has the whole nation gone crazy???
How did this idiot get. Elected
It’s this type of police officer that is the core of all the doubt Americans are having with police. I can’t believe this Sheriff is ignorant enough to publicly make a statement like this. If he chooses to follow through with this ignorant statement, he will be on trial and prosecuted
Asshole sheriff
He’s the threat…
You sir are a complete idiot
He must be afraid of something.
This guy needs to be taken out of office immediately, he’s dangerous and wants to kill a law abiding citizen. This is a bad cop.
Well I guess that makes you fairgame. Because if you plan on shooting legal gun owners you just made a deal with the Devil.
So I think you just made your life a living hell, your not so smart after all, you are tarnishing the badge you wear.
