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.

Now what happened to his oath of office and needs to be fired!!!!
The sheriff here in AZ has asked the public to carry weapons and be prepared to use them….
Fire him this is so wrong.
I can not believe this sheriff made a statement like that !! If he did he should have a bounty on him .
Well first of all he shouldn’t be making threats for people who carry concealed weapons and if he does start shooting people that have concealed weapons how does he know they have a concealed weapon? He would have to stop them for a reason. !! I think he might find himself in jail.
dam sure dont need him in office
Congratulations, your Mentality show your lower IQ. You do that Stupidity, and I Guarantee you that you will be dead faster than you thought.
Should be removed from office immediately, all his weapons should be confiscated and he should be forced into me tal health treatment, he is a clear threat to innocent American’s…
I think I seen him before he was bent over Obama’s desk
HOW ABOUT having the sheriff’s gun rights taken away from him. Let him continue to fulfill his job duties without being able to arm himself either on or off the job. He can still call for backup if he feels the need in a situation he deems threatening and wait just like everyone else for a response .
