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$#%&!@*is an Idiot for making this statement ! Any Citizen has the right to defend themselves when conducting themselves within the law, even if it involves law enforcement !!!!! This SOB thinks he has a license to kill, guess again hero.
Cops like this don’t need to be cops more like he’s a control freak
This scum bag needs to be fired from his job
And he’s a police officer??? I swear people are going nuts. God help America.
I think he has given cause for a self defense plea to take him out.
With how they shoot?? I’m a USMC veteran, they’d better be careful… L don’t miss
Fire this unhinged twit before he kills someone! If it ever happens, the county will be stripped financially based on this foreknowledge.
