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 for jail
Just remember sheriff, law abiding citizens will even protect themselves from the likes of you. Your words could come back and haunt you…
That is not a good sheriff. He wants to kill people abiding by the law. Think about that for a minute
Must be a democrat
He needs to lose his job
He needs to find a new job. Open a daycare or teach preschoolers. The threat is far less with toddlers and infants.
Really
This county needs a nra law suite to get him out of office
we shoot back
What a not-scary Rambo and most likely a cowardly POS to boot?
