He claims that public shaming is unchristian.

It's very Christian as long as it's in the right order. You're supposed to confront them in person, then bring a friend, then shame them in front of the church and if that doesn't work throw them out of the church. So that's either him lying or not having read much of the new testament.

Brandon from Trex is doing an interview with FocusTripp. Biggest claim so far is that the "pornographic images" sent to Lucas' wife were of a furry anime type webcomic and that they were sent on accident. Lucas supposedly committed multiple fireable offenses in the past and this was taken into account when deciding not to fire the employee. Brandon's breaking point with Lucas was that Lucas threw a party after he announced his departure and let everyone know who sent the texts. He claims that public shaming is unchristian.

Who the mf at Trex strokin they shit to furry porn webcomics
Brandon should shut the fuck up, Were I a businessman and found out one of my employees jerked it to furry porn I would put up flyers all over town advertising the fact after promptly firing them.

I watched this, I won't get in a debate about what is Christian and not Christian but the interesting bit about the furry porn sender was that he was the son of an executive who had several arguments with Lucas.

I don't know who to believe at this point. I really dislike Lucas but Brandon wasn't the most persuasive speaker. I wonder if hating on Israel was a fireable offense.

He claims he made T-Rex arms in 2013, in Tennessee with 2000 bucks of his own money. Now i don't know what transparency laws are like in Tennessee but i'm fairly certain this sort of stuff can be checked. Has anyone bothered doing so? I somehow doubt that a 19 year old kid with zero work experience, in the given field at least, managed to start of a successful business out of the blue just like that. Then he somehow lost ownership because he didn't understand what "majority share" was? Something just doesn't sit right there. I mean it could be possible, just seems unlikely.

His wife Anisad him hard. Despite not being part of the company in any manner she seemed to have a lot of undue influence over Lucas' decisions. He spent 3 hours every night going over the business with her? Why? He also got doped into couples therapy by her where he did 2/3rd of the work, in his own words, lmao. If it turns out his wife has a boyfriend too i would not be shocked at all. Any bets on who that would be?

The only saving grace for Lucas here is the furry porn that got sent because otherwise he'd be on very skinny, flimsy legs.

I think Trex started as just another Kydex holster mill. Doesn't seem that crazy to me that start up costs were that low.

Trex when it started was Lucas in an unheated garage/shed with a toaster oven and some blue guns, they didn't buy their building until years later. Their initial sales were either to people Lucas knew or on Ebay.

Do we know how he managed to go from being just another Kydex holster mill (of which there are shedloads) to the substantial operation they are today? Was it all just social media marketing and was Lucas the primary focus of that marketing. Are they mostly manufacturing stuff, or is the bulk of what they sell manufactured by other people, so they're really more of a shop than anything?

Not only that, how do you go "I think I can bring something different to the Kydex holster market in 2013" as an inexperienced 19 year old? At the same time, Lucas' Dad Geoffrey is preaching inflammatory rhetoric at his local church. This is a weird coincidence that his son starts a tactical gear company when he is stirring the pot and felt so threatened over Ruby Ridge, moved his entire family to New Zealand at one point to avoid the Clinton administration. It's not cheap to uproot and move your entire family to New Zealand and back again a few years later. His family clearly has money.

Here lies the issue; unless this is verified by another source and not Lucas, you can chalk this up as another Lucas embellishment/lie. Lucas has claimed to have trained SWAT and has speed up his shooting videos to make himself look more competent. You can't take Lucas at his word.

 

[AGPinochet]

Lucas has claimed to have trained SWAT an

During the Navyman drama saga he posted photos of him and a SWAT team on his range (coincidentally, Navyman deleted his video and issued and apology)

has speed up his shooting videos to make himself look more competent.

I have heard this claim for years and it has been circulating for longer than I have been aware of it, I have never seen any proof, I have seen at least a dozen people ask for proof of this claim and they received none. From what I understand this claim is like a decade old and originated from some guy on a podcast. Lucas has dedicated haters and if such proof existed it would be plastered everywhere.

unless this verified by another source and not Lucas, you can chalk this up as another Lucas embellishment/lie.

I'm pretty my sure I've seen a photo of him glad in a Beanie and jacket heating Kydex in a toaster oven, think he showed it on stream once but none of his vods ever get saved
And if it wasn't true someone would have said something by now.

A picture is not training. That's like any tactical gear company having law enforcement come play on their private range. My local range has federal officers all the time because they don't want to drive an hour to their actual range. That doesn't mean my range and its instructors train them. Lucas has flat out called himself a trainer and then mag dumped an MP5 on a target. I've definitely seen that video. I also saw the video where he flags a class of zoomers with his AR-15 while demonstrating switching from rifle to pistol. He had no business calling himself an instructor or trainer.

I think this would be a little hard to prove without the original footage, all we get is what he uploaded to Youtube. I think it has been reported on ARFCOM his practicscore would be good for a weekend warrior but for someone who shoots full time and makes content for a living it, its not impressive.

Yeah that's great but it doesn't disprove if his Dad had any influence.

He did do that

But
1. Those "Zoomers" were all Trex employees who signed up to participate in a video
2. Lucas specifically said to the camera "Hey, I'm going to demonstrate specifically what not to do when transitioning from rifle to pistol ok? I'm now going to do the thing I just said I'm going to do, remember, don't do this"

Yes, he loosened the swing of his rifle, didn't check to see if the magazine was empty, fired a shot while the mag is still in the rifle, swung his rifle around flagging his entire class of employees, and then drew his pistol to shoot again.

He should dropped the fucking mag before demonstrating if wasn't going to check it. He was wrong to even perform the action despite his caveats. This is why I say he is Dunning-Krueger personified. He does stupid shit because he thinks he knows enough.

That's why i'm asking about Tennessee transparency laws. Whenever you register a business there's is a whole ass dossier that gets filled out. Location, type of business, legal ownership, employment numbers, initial liquid investment, initial material investment etc etc. It's available to the public in most places, i doubt Tennessee would be the exception.

 

[hog cranking frog]

Negrate me all you want but the Trex dude always came across as sincere (if a bit goofy and overly serious) and thoughtful. Used one of his holsters for a bit. Family and business is tough and rarely a good move.

Do you mean a business entity search from the Tennessee Department of State?
