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.

Anyone shoots in my direction while I’m legally carrying, cop or not I’m returning fire.
Another un-american POS!
While it is an uncomfortable feeling when you begin seeing people carrying, Open or catch a glimpse under a shirt or coat,,, This is a feeling that passes when you realize that this citizen has gone through a lot of paperwork and time and expense to keep themselves and those around them safe from thugs. I hope you who fear will learn to appreciate those who do not fear,, if not, then that’s okay too,, your fears do not trump my rights. 🙂 I will protect even the stupid sheep in my immediate area.

This man is a threat to the public and needs to be removed from office
When that sheriff gets shot just remember him saying he was going to violate legal gun owners rights. He forgets that he works for the people, not his own agenda. He should be removed from duty.
PinHead!
sO HE IS BREAKING THE LAW AND SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR DOING SO
You’re the kind of$#%&!@*that gives cops a bad name!
Don’t be surprised if I return fire.
