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.

That can’t end well.
so he can have his(anti)gun, but he will shoot you if you have one.
take his badge and gun, then prosecute co terroristic threats
Sheriff, you are off base with your attitude about gun carriers, all the ones I know are respectabl, sane citizens, and they are only reported when they do good deeds, and that is often. You would not be ejected in this county!
Idiot
Sheriff, huh……. I don’t think you have heard about the Second Amendment of the Constitution! You should read up on it. IT’S PART OF YOUR JOB TO ENFORCE!
When is the next election?
Do you wanna get legally shot. Cause that’s how you legally shoot somebody.
He should be fired immediately. If not the public should demand he be fired. If that doesn’t work,vote him out and those who refused to take action out of office.
He wants his very few minutes of attention, that’s all.
