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.

You may get shot yourself!
Hope he’s a quick draw, I am.
Impeach him sure does not need to be a Sheriff . Against all rules
When they find him dead it’s because they was feared for their lives
And if you don’t kill them they’ll probably shoot back
The wrong man and that job
If I am stopped by a Cop. And asked for Identification. I won’t say, I have a gun or any weapon. I will hand them my drivers license. Along with my concealed weapons permit. During this proper procedure. No gun should be drawn by any officers. They the officers, should then ask where my weapons are. I will tell them. Then they are free to secure. Any weapons I may have….
Nowhere in the 2nd Ammendment does it say “….with government permission.”
A huge number of gun laws are blatantly unconstitutional.
I don’t think I’d give him a chance to shoot Me, he already said what he’d do! Self defense plan and simple!!!
That’s funny coming out of a police officer. Who has these idiots been shooting. Sure$#%&!@*ain’t been the ice scream man.
