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.

A TRUE IDIOT!
This IDIOT IS A SHERIFF? If i was carrying my gun and this IDIOT pulled his and started shooting at me, I’d be shooting back.
dirty cop there.
Be prepared to get a body bag you shoot at me I WILL RETURN FIRE!!!
go ahead and soon you will join the criminals in jail! besides, what makes him think that those armed concealed carrier will not protect themselves and get him first?
Um…..i believe he took an oath to UPHOLD the constitution. His county should remove him.
there are more gun owners in Florida than his sheriff’s office. i think Florida residents would stand their ground and take him out.
