Yeager ranting about TGO

[glowdotGlock]

I just saw this in my Facebook feed. I assumed it's because of his "shooting people" rant a few years back. I like TGO and I like James. So I'm neutral here but just passing it along.

I was about to post the same thing, but you beat me to it.

Has TGO been around for a decade?

Getting mighty close.  I joined in 2008 and there were nearly 2,000 members then if I recall correctly.

When we switched to the new software some banned members were no longer banned. I went through to make sure we do not get over run with problems again. 

[SupaRice]

He has his own forum... from my short experience looking it over the conversations are ..... umm... "more focused"

[glowdotGlock]

I wonder if it's still around. He used to mention his forum at the end of each video but he hasn't done it in a year or so. I never cared to join. I enjoy this forum so if it ain't broke don't fix it.

I met him at the NRA convention. I don't care what anybody thinks...I really like the guy!

And because this will likely turn into a Yeager hater/fanboy thread I will say this. 

Yeager, at least more than any other single person, was responsible for me getting into contracting. I was a fanboy because most of what he said I agreed with. That was before the "incident". And I do not question his response to being shot at, none of us know how we will react under similar circumstances until we find ourselves under similar circumstances. What I do have a problem with is blaming everyone else, including the dead, in his AAR.  M 

I wish him no ill will and I am glad he made lemonade out of lemons.

I don't even remember why he was banned at this point, but I thank him for the promotional consideration via his feed today.  Undoubtedly people will visit TGO once they see his posting, if nothing else out of curiosity.

Bad idea! I know for one I'd have to go create multiple accounts just so I could come up with reasons such as "Won George Zimmerman's gun online and he suggested this forum for teaching myself engagement scenarios" or "Met some guy named Leonard at a gunshow and he kept saying "TGO Sucks!" after each comment out of his mouth so I had to check it out to see what it was about". Another good one could be "Recently was introduced to regional mall security specialist (cannot reveal his name or identity as it may blow his cover) and he suggested I familiarize myself as much as possible with firearms to deal with situations and the like that I may encounter on my weekly trips to the mall. TGO was the first forum that popped up when Googling "local gun forums".

 

I just cannot help myself...

TGO was founded January 2007.

 

ETA: OS beat me to it. TGO David has a time machine because his join date is 2 days before the domain was registered.

I don't mean this in my usual asinine jerk M.O. but why do we care what this gumby says?  No, seriously is it just the intrinsic humor of being mentioned or does this guy's opinion really carry some weight cause other than the time or two he's been mentioned here with an accompanying video or something, I never heard of this guy.  He's certainly not the topic of any discussion in any circle I find myself in.  

 

Chuck Yeager.  Now there's a cool Yeager worth talking about.  Jagermeister is pretty decent too.

I never heard of the guy before.  Who is he?

[Sidecarist]

As TGO David said. Free publicity. Not much else to say...

I know that I couldn't care less what he says, nor have I heard of him before: however, I do not seek out "trainers" like this.

I had never heard of him before his video rant last year responding to proposed gun-control measures by the Obama administration. Yeager: "F*** that! I’m telling you that if that happens, it’s going to spark a civil war, and I’ll be glad to fire the first shot," . Haven't heard of him since then until now.

Ohh I remember that now!  

What a douche.

Posting because I love a good JY thread...

For those that don't know, James is a firearms trainer in TN.  He makes brash statements when he would do better to say nothing.  His response of slamming TGO on Facebook is a perfect example.  I don't know him though suspect he's a good guy who has a hard time saying nothing when that would be best.  

He lost his carry permit for a while for making inflammatory remarks about the anti gunners.  He deployed to a Iraq as a security contractor.  People claimed that he reacted with cowardice.  I watched the video many times and read about appropriate responses in that type situation since I'm not a soldier. 

It seems to me that he responded the way he should have and that people started attacking him verbally due to previous inflammatory statements and that their verbal attacks against him were wrong.

In the shooting incident, the vehicle was on the right side of the road.  They were stopped and bullets started flying, coming from the right.  He went to the ditch on the left side of the road, laid down and started taking aim with his weapon.
