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 needs to be fired.
Looks like the Officers in Florida will have to be more diligence in their training to understand the new law if it is passed and understanding that just because someone has a gun doesn’t make them a criminal. The officers well have to learn better tactics when dealing with person with a gun call. Officers shouldn’t be rolling up to a armed robbery or bank robbery front doors code 3 that’s is poor tactics not to mention it could also be another brother officer off duty or under cover they end up shooting do to false information. Because police have never accidentally shoot a fellow officer.
He doesn’t belong in law enforcement. Hillary lover.
He should be thrown out of office and not allowed to wear a badge
He needs to be removed since that is an overt threat against people obeying the law
you’ll be dead soon$#%&!@*
Need to tell the politicians and all the Feds , Sheriff is above them. If this sheriff feels he is above the law and pulls this, citizens have the right to defend themselves
Idiot!!
To bad this clown is not a sheriff in my county of residence,so I can help vote him out of office.
You really have a death wish
