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 just threaten the public and they have a right to defend themselfs. Who voted for this idiot. AHAH AHAH AHAH
Then you should not be able to carry yourself
so what this guy is saying is that if someone with a concealed weapon enters a roberry in progress, that person will get one to the chest. well have you ever thought that an off duty police officer may be one of those who conceal carry? you are very wrong in your statement and the sherrifs should not back him up on this.
This guy has let his personal beliefs overload his mouth and ass. He’s supposed to be a professional FIRST!!! Granted, officers must make split second decisions, but to make a blanket statement about “targeting,” those who may be innocent is irresponsible at best. He in addition to being a target now a days simply by being a sheriff, but may be also putting a target on his back because of his mouth.
Oh so he is just like the rest of American law enforcement? Papers please!
