I knew James Yeager and despite his controversies he was a net positive for the gun community.

He actively helped fund raise for Cav Arms when we were under ATF investigation.

He was one of the first tactical training schools that taught military and police tactics to regular citizens. His YouTube channel helped make tactical training more accessible and popular.

People like Lucas Botkin like to take credit for that today, but without people like Yeager clearing the path Fudd culture would still dominate and it would still be a more niche thing.

Haven't read this thread in awhile. I was ready to go all in attacking sinstral rifleman but to my surprise he too has be alienated. I am glad that I no longer have to be ashamed of the WWSD rifle that has been sitting in my safe collecting dust for the last 5 years.

While I got lots of Karl oriented hate over the years, I had maybe 3 interactions with people who said they weren’t buying specifically because I was associated with Karl.

Lots of quiet quitting I suppose, and it didn’t happen all at once.

This is one of similar dozens of comments I’ve gotten over the last several months. Things along the lines of: “I like your products/videos/matches, I’m glad I can recommend them again”

While I would absolutely agree with all of this, unfortunately he was still also a fucking idiot at times. Just not particularly often enough to become a lolcow like a lot of other guntube people from his era.

I'm not willing to comment on his incident involving getting ambushed while he was a security contractor. That's been beaten to death over the years by keyboard commandos and I'm not interested in it. What I did find, even though the videos have been taken down due to the channel strikes, was people discussing the camera man down range shit, the dueling waiver shit, and other dumb nonsense confirming I was right when I was remembering him being an idiot.
I've never respected the guy. Aside from him having supposedly let his comrades die in combat. (speculation) The truth of the matter is that he lets his students shoot live rounds downrange while the camera man sits in between the paper targets.

Furthermore he has said anyone who disagrees with him can come down and sign a duel paper and he will have a shootout with you like the old west days.

The man is full of bullshit. I remember when he first came on youtube saying he would kill anyone who tried to stop him from carrying a gun or some non-sense.

They ended up taking his conceal carry permit (revoked) and he got all defensive and kept open carrying regardless and using his prior LEO status to carry illegally from what I've read.

The guy gives all gun owners and conceal carriers a bad name and makes us all look like aggressors who are just itching to kill someone.

And yeah, I'll agree with him coming off as a "wishing a motherfucker would" idiot on a regular basis at least on video. But the camera man at the target shit is pure fucking insanity when these things called tripods existed even back in ye olden times of 2012. Fuck, I also found the old complaint about the incident of one of his instructors putting a round through a student's truck like a fucking retard with an ND, and then Yaeger not wanting to issue a refund(they did apparently replace the truck tires).

edit: Actually found one of his Tactical Response training class videos where they have a guy down range between targets right at the beginning and from my understanding it wasn't even a class James was hosting so apparently this retardation was prolific within his circle.

Pure fucking insanity, and the dumbest part is they seem to have at least 2 tripods with cameras at either end of the line and couldn't get a third? This isn't even James and his pals by themselves pulling this william tell trust exercise nonsense either, it's with students taking a course. The gun community definitely benefitted in ways from what James was doing, but it could have benefitted more without the retarded shit.
 
James Yeager was the true duality of guntube influencer.

Yup, James Yeager. May he rest in peace. He was weird but nobody deserves to die from ALS

He's looking up at all of us with disgust from whatever ditch Beelzebub threw him into, I'm sure. But hey, at least his black grandkids are still around.


@SinistralRifleman I don't know man, sure the Fudds may be dead but we're dealing with an era of Neo-Fudds. The kind of people who will see you own a revolver or a 1911 or a shotgun and lose their shit about how that'll get you killed in the streets or whatever. As if all of gun ownership needs to purely be about turning into Billy Badass at the drop of a hat and going Rambo rather than just having fun at the range or hunting.

Nah the sunsetting of the AWB and the GWOT was always going to cause a cultural shift. Not denying Yeager has a major impact but if it wasn't him it would've been someone else.

These are all factors that build upon each other and act in concert.

History is filled with the stories of people who were in the right place at the right time to make the most of changing paradigms.

This is more true than I'd like to admit. Several examples I've dealt with myself include;

My personal carry gun is a revolver, a Smith & Wesson Model 10 snub in .38 special (I am an unabashed S&W fan boy). You would not believe the grief I've gotten at my local indoor range when asked about that little revolver and I confirm it's my carry gun, not just a toy that belonged to my grandfather. How dare I not carry a Glock something or other?! What will I do if I find myself in need of more than 6 shots or need longer range power? It reminds me of Barry from IV8888 (may he RIP) and his discussions on mall ninjas and the food court shootouts they always talk about.

My main firearms passion is WW2 and prior military rifles, but especially black powder cartridge guns (Martini Henry, 1871 Mauser, Chasepot, etc.). I love the history, and I love shooting them. I have a small group of black powder nerds that I shoot with regularly and we help each other out with loading ammunition, repairs, sourcing parts etc. It's definitely a niche community, but we have a hell of a good time. Inspired to a degree by Karl and Ian doing Brutality/practical shooting with old Milsurp rifles and handguns, and BritishMuzzleloaders with his impressive knowledge of drill and fashionable kilts, we designed a match at our local range that lets us run our slow, goofy guns while wearing funny gear, and laughing at each other fumbling through stages designed for fun and entertainment rather than being tactical traing tools for the inevitable food court war of '26. The range owners are very cool, and they didn't care at all when we proposed our old timey range day, but the tacticool crowd (now officially referred to as Neo-Fudds) had quite a bit to say. "Waste of time." "No practical application in modern combat." "Waste of range resources." "Training cannon fodder." were some of my favorites. Yes, because I'm totally training for WW3 with my 71/84 Mauser and my Imperial German uniform and web gear. Everyone will fear the middle aged, balding, fat guy in his reproduction Picklehaube.

Enjoying shooting, the guns, the history, learning, none of that is part of the Neo-Fudd world, it's prepare for the apocalypse or die.

(Long rant, but the Neo-Fudd thing got me, reminds me of when I was a kid learning to shoot, and miserable fucks hanging at the range talked shit on my stuff because it was cheap and I didn't know how to use it. "HuR dUr, A sEaRs .22??? wHaT gOoD'lL tHaT dO yA???")

I like to use a surfing analogy. Culture is this big wave, it picks up everyone whether they like it or not, but there are some who get on their board and ride that wave. The wave is there whether anyone is riding it or not, but everybody looks to those who do.

This is me exactly. I have modern gear and do practice with it but honestly there’s just not that much entertainment in shooting ARs and glocks. I enjoy it but not nearly as much as historical firearms. I also enjoy reloading and reloading for 5.56 is a complete pain in the ass.

Yeah I don’t have a progressive press plus I have big hands. So fumbling around with the tiny bullets is just a pain.

Yeah I get that, the only reason I ever reloaded .223 at all (never reloaded 5.56 because lol crimped primers) was for my coyote/prairie dog gun and even then you quickly run into diminishing returns.

It was actually my Martini Henry Mk 1 that got me into reloading. I bought it and the guy I bought it from gave me a set of dies. I had no idea how to use them so I stuffed them into a drawer and there they sat for years. It was only after watching BritishMuzzleloaders make Martini ammo that I got interested enough to put my dies to work (plus having to constantly scrounge old Kynoch rounds or have someone else load for me was getting stupid expensive). Rob made loading look easy so I bought the basic equipment and gave it a try. Sending that first round of 577/450 down range felt awesome and since I had other oddball black powder cartridge guns by then, it started an addiction that is only ever satisfied when my various ammo cans are full.

Right.... uh... this is a Karl thread and I fear I've derailed it somewhat. Hm....

Karl is fat and no one will have sex with him and he's such an obnoxious douche, that even the Satanic Temple, an order founded in obnoxious douche-baggery, kicked him out. They won't have sex with him either.

I hope the mods don't carve shit out of the thread again.

1. It's interesting and actually nice to see what people are interested in when it's relevant to the cow in question.
2. Carving it out just makes the thread confusing and won't actually generate enough discussion on its own (ever been in an IRC/Discord with 50 channels no one uses?)
3. It's proof Karl is so boring that unless he digs deeper professionally - and there's not much more he can do - he's in the back seat in his own threat.

I enjoy the autistic niche discussions about non-practical guns. Mine are classic Wonder Nines. The Ruger P89 is a fuck-ugly piece of stamped metal, but it runs (surprisingly smoothly) and it starts conversations. Bring that out with my pre-rail P229 in .40 and my high power clone, and that's a range day, gobbless.

For me I bought the rifle during the entire GWACs thing where Ian and Karl were shilling the WWSD stuff as a way to help KE Arms in its court case. I liked Ian, and I liked Inrangetv at the time. I didn't actually know about who Karl was as a person. Once the Ian split happened I went digging and found the AR15.com thread where Karl was self reporting that he was a foaming at the mouth retard, and as everyone knows it only got worse from there. I like the rifle, I think it is a good product despite all the issues that people have with it, however with all the satanic temple stuff out in the open I just can't shake the feeling that Karl was doing some "what would satan do" play on the WWJD motto. It is a tenet of actual satanism(not just the satanic temple athiest larping) to try to inject satanism into everything, and having WWSD plastered on the side of the rifle isn't a great feeling in that aspect.

WWSD media project started in 2017 with Ian before Karl was part of TST.

Mine are the 90's action movie classics. Beretta 92, Smith 59s and the like. I include the CZ75B, but that gun didn't really see a lot of screen time until The Wire. I've also found that I like Euro blowback sub-Parabellums like the Beretta 84 and CZ50/70/8x, though this may largely be due to them being inexpensive surplus still.

Also, the Ruger P-series fucks. Shockingly not bad for being built to a price point.
