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.

Sheriff is an elected position, vote him out!
Another Killary butt kisser.
Sounds like a Retarded man to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What about serve and protect??
This Sheriff is an ABSOLUTE moron! And probably a crook himself. Otherwise WHY would he have a problem with LAW ABIDING citizens being armed? Dear Mr. Idiot Of A Sheriff, check the data in states such as Texas where concealed and even open carry by licensed law abiding citizens has been around for awhile. Check the numbers on everything from traffic tickets given to these folks all the way up to and including murder with a firearm. If you know HOW to read then you will be SHOCKED to see a totally different picture than the liberal socialists like to claim will happen when these laws are passed.
He should not be in office.
Why is he even an officer?
He’s my Sheriff. He is a good man and a great sheriff, who fires his deputies if they get a dui, or otherwise misbehave, yet his agency seems to have good morale. Police are just spooked right now by crazies. The Pinellas Sheriffs Office is fine just like it is.
So he shouldn’t be surprised when they shoot back. What an idiot!
