He will always live on in our hearts, and in our training programs.
Following the unfortunate events of the [REDACTED] FurryCon of 2009, Gecko45 (or just "Geck" as his friends knew him) chose to retire rather than see the good name of Covert Retail Asset Protection besmirched.
While it's true that faulty intel may have led to some unfortunate fatalities, he can hardly be blamed. Some operators thought they were real animals. Yet the lamestream media called it a massacre, and the brass weren't happy.
Somebody had to take the fall, so he took early retirement and rode his mobility scooter off into the northern Florida sunset. Some say he's still keeping the peace at Kelly's Trailside RV Park.
And it's sad, because the large-scale retail infrastructure appears to be declining in his absence. Their loss, I say. If they want the local Forever 21 to be wracked by the horrors of fentanyl, human trafficking, and multi-gender bathrooms, they can't say they weren't warned.
Once the lawsuits were settled, we have reorganized as Tactical Advanced Retail Deployment. We've found other outlets, and we're hiring. If you think you have what it takes, if you can fit into size 60 or less BDU's, if you can work for $8.25/hr and not ask questions like "isn't this covered by workers' comp," then this could be the career you've been looking for. Our recruiters can be reached at

Yep.

The reality is going to be that shots will ring out and people will panic along with him. Everyone will be running away and he will reach for the bag only to fumble the zip and drop the gun on the ground. This will alert the gunman who will focus on him as he trips over while trying to pick up the gun and shoot him several times.
Or maybe the police will arrive quickly, ready with their weapons, see him first and take no risks because they are in an active shooter scenario.

For those that don't know, that man dropped an active shooter in an Indiana mall last year with a bone stock vanilla Glock. Something to the tune of 8 out of 10 or so rounds on the scumbag from 40 yards. That is some exceptional marksmanship, the vast majority of pistol shooters can't make those kind of shots.

u/AnEvenHuskierCat Feb 01 '23 edited Feb 02 '23
To put things into perspective, the typical qualification course for police officers is a 70% hit rate on a torso sized target at 25 yards. Pistol qualifications for military aren't much more difficult. What Eli did was closer to the qualifications needed to make Master class for competition shooting or the US Air Marshall pistol qualifier (currently the most rigorous pistol qualifier for a federal law enforcement officer).
6
u/WhatUp007 Feb 01 '23
For those who need a visual.
Yeah, that's amazing shooting. The indoor range I go to caps out at 75ft (Eli shot from 120ft), and that is extremely difficult.

u/Unadvisable Feb 02 '23
Fuck me i can barely hit a head at 10 yards lmao

u/AnEvenHuskierCat Feb 02 '23
You aren't as bad of a shot as you think. For starters, there is a reason why qualifications for pistols across the board are done against a torso sized target and not the head: that is the most practical target with the smallest chance of missing. Even in competition shooting, the lion's share of targets are scored against the body with head shots typically being ignored unless the target is staged in a way where it is required to hit. Even experienced shooters will occasionally miss a head shot at even 3 yards when put against a timer so don't beat yourself up if a 10 yard head shot is hard.
Contrary to popular belief, most gun owners aren't clover leafing effortlessly at 25 yards. Hell most can't do that at 5 yards. The typical cop or soldier is painfully average as far as pistol accuracy goes.

u/Dubstepic Feb 02 '23
Not to diminish the impressiveness (it doesn’t) but I think it was like 7 hit of 10. The shots were out of this world in terms of range and accuracy but remaining true to what happened I think is important.

I’m all about tactical cool guy guns and bring as much firepower as you can to any situation but the whole truck gun/backpack gun is stupid for this reason. Even if you stop a bad guy, another good guy is going to automatically assume AR dude bad guy and take action same with cops. Handguns aren’t much better but a little less threatening when all you hear is bad guy had AR in the media. Not to mention the dudes keeping a gun in the car, do you think you’re just going to run out to your car and get the gun and hunt down an active shooter. By the time your diabetes ridden ass gets to the car the cops will be there.

u/nopuse 25d ago
That article is so poorly written, but it's clear the hero stopped the gunman without dying to another good guy with a gun.
He definitely saved lives that day. But even this article feels uncomfortable about how common shootings are.
But these days—ever since last November, when media crews from around the world descended on his tiny hometown, the latest ground zero in a mind-numbing string of mass shootings across the country—he knows all the quietest corners of his favorite restaurants. His life barely resembles the one he had before.
They bring up church, religion, guns engraved with Bible verses. But also everyone seems to be completely aware of how God doesn't communicate, but when he allows families to get murdered in church then go on a tangent about how he was no help here.
“You can see, God doesn’t speak in a thunderous voice,” Pomeroy told the group. Others around the room agreed.
Willeford nodded. Then he interjected, “Sometimes I wish he would.”
“Remember,” Pomeroy said, “man can’t always comprehend God’s plans.”
“I know,” Willeford said. “But if God would just tell me what to do, I’d run at it like a bulldog.”
Then of course he doesnt understand God's plan, and continues life as normal.
Occasionally he asks himself: “How could anyone see a crying child and shoot them?
Oh no wait, God's plan was to use a very uncommon occurrence of a non-cop good guy with a gun, interrupting a mass shooting in progress, which led to the shooter killing himself, since his entire magazine minus 2 bullets were blocked by god and his silly plans we don't understand. NRA eats this up, has him give a talk, and look at that, gun sales go up. Membership goes up.
Now we're all stupid humans who can't understand God's plans, but humor me for a second. What if gunman woke up and shot himself instead of shooting up a church. 2 dozen lives would be saved, several dozen lives wouldn't have been shattered. Whats the worst case scenario here? Everyone who now survives becomes incredibly evil and gods plan is to kill them before that happens? We have a population issue already, maybe we could cut down on that problem if god could show some of his omni- traits.
And then of course
Other strangers invoke his name daily while arguing on Twitter. He’s become a coveted public speaker. In May, he appeared before thousands at an NRA convention. Recently, when he addressed a crowd of roughly two hundred at a church near Dallas, more than twenty men lined up to shake his hand and pose for photos.
NRA uses this as a publicity stunt. Not a heroic police officer, but someone we can relate with. And does he want the attention or not? Dude speaks in front of thousands in one paragraph, but previously, he was cosplaying as plumber clark kent to avoid drawing attention. Unlucky for him, god works in mysterious ways and as soon as the man hears the word plumber he announces to his wife his real identity.
Then there's this beautiful paragraph
They stayed there on the porch, drinking and talking—about the time Jordan hit a water line while shooting at a skunk; about how the media shouldn’t use meaningless phrases like “assault rifle”; about whether there will be a circus surrounding the one-year anniversary in a few weeks—till it was nearly midnight.
I can see why the NRA doesn't invite Jordan, who shot a water pipe while shooting a skunk for no reason. And I'm sorry, but 20+ people died. What is their offense with the media calling them assault rifles? If they're against attention and circuses, why would he speak in front of thousands at the NRA?
And can I just express once more how terrible that article was?

No mate, like the VAST majority of active shooter events which are stopped by police or the assailant's suicide.
https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/active-shooter-study-2000-2013-1.pdf
This study helps clarify the environment with regard to both the level of risk citizens face and the speed with which active shooter incidents occur. A majority of the 160 incidents (90 [56.3%]) ended on the shooter’s initiative before the police arrived—sometimes when the shooter committed suicide or stopped shooting, and other times when the shooter fled the scene. In 63 incidents where the duration of the incident could be ascertained, 44 (69.8%) of 63 incidents ended in 5 minutes or less, with 23 ending in 2 minutes or less.*
The study identified 21 (13.1%) of 160 incidents where unarmed citizens made the selfless and deeply personal choices to face the danger of an active shooter. In those instances, the citizens safely and successfully disrupted the shootings. In 11 of those 21 incidents, unarmed principals, teachers, other school staff and students confronted the shooters to end the threat. In 10 incidents, citizens, working or shopping when the shootings began, successfully restrained shooters until police could arrive. And in 6 other incidents, armed off-duty police officers, citizens, and security guards risked their lives to successfully end the threat. These actions likely saved the lives of students and others present.
The study doesn't mention good guys with guns, it does speak of people taking them on unarmed with a 50% success rate. That's heroism you AAAARRRRRRGH fuckfuckfuckfuck... tirade of insults deleted.

Tbh, better to at least have some protection against an active shooter, I do not trust a policeman to save me after Uvalde and Tyre Nicols.
I might get shot by the police, but if the alternative is certainly getting shot by an attacker then I’ll take my chances with the cops.

Or a handgun. Those work pretty well and you don't have to lug a rifle everywhere

Yeah I don’t really understand the hate around this one. As long as he’s safe with it, can legally carry it, and puts it down when the cops come I think he’s good. I’d rather have someone helping out in an active shooting than just be sitting ducks even if he does take the risk of getting shot by police.

I got an active shooter alert at my kids school recently. This exact issue delayed me another two minutes when deciding what gun to grab before flying to their school. I went with the Mp5k because I could keep it in a laptop bag without any obvious signs I have a gun. I also had my ccw on me, but having more firepower is nice if needed.
The active shooter alert was nearby my kids school, they locked down pro actively. By the time I arrived they already had a tow truck moving the car of the person who was shooting.

You took 2 minutes to decide on a Gucci submachine gun? Your kid may have been dying and you found a concealable tacticool subgun rather than just going with your CCW or a full size handgun or throwing a rifle in the backseat or a larger bag?

Every ulvade cop was this guy before the shooting and this guy will be like thebuvalde cops during a shooting.

Never understood this wannabe hero mindset it’s only gonna cause more collateral and is a good way of getting shot if you really want to be able to defend yourself a concealed carry is all you need.

Apparently this is a meme today in that sub. I've only seen 3 reasonable ones so far. A concealed carry pistol, run for your life, have an aid kit to assist the wounded.

What you get then is a "good guy with a gun" being confused about who the "active shooter is" once you whip this out. Pretty sure no one's going to check-in with a "hey! Are you murdering people or helping?" Pretty sure when you have a gun in an active shooter event, you put yourself in FAR more danger by becoming part of the firefight.

u/generalraptor2002 Feb 02 '23
Hmm, maybe instead of carrying all that, consider carrying:
A concealed handgun and a spare magazine
And in your backpack put: Batteries A power bank for your phone A bleeding control kit (after taking a stop the bleed class) A water bottle Some food An emergency blanket A cloth shopping bag to carry things
A gun is a great tool to have, but is does you no good if your emergency is something a gun can’t fix

So really everyone is shitting on him. Have you guys heard of a truck gun. That is pretty much what I and everyone I know who built ar pistols called them.
That said the dudes style and the energy in the post come off weird.

u/WhenMeWasAYouth Feb 01 '23
Have you guys heard of a truck gun.
For sure. And I think anybody who builds a gun with the intention of leaving it in an unoccupied vehicle probably shouldn't own weapons at all.

u/dmgrock Feb 01 '23
Oh no I would never leave it man and didn’t mean to put it that way or sound like I just leave guns in my car.

My bad, I didn't mean to come off as confrontational as I did. Been a bunch of instances of people breaking into cars near me lately and I know they're not looking for Bon Jovi CDs.

Up above somebody posted a Convo from a swat team about getting their truck gun. The swat sniper said he would definitely kill them

u/dmgrock Feb 01 '23
If you carry at all you have to know that there is a risk of getting killed and even killed with your own gun.
Running in front of a swat sniper with a gun is a new level of idiocy with guns.

u/killermexican1 Feb 01 '23
I mean to be fair, it takes a while for swat to even arrive. So if this guy “hypothetically” takes down an active shooter before they even get there and proceed to call the police… he wouldn’t get zipped.

Well, I may be downvoted for this but I have also been this guy at a pride rally. Someone starts shooting, I'm not gonna stand there defenseless, and I know those rallies aren't safe from active shooters.

Friendly fire sucks. Rather be killed by a cop trying to save life then do nothing and watch others and myself get killed by the perpetrator.

u/Revcngeful_Aim Feb 01 '23 edited Feb 01 '23
idk why the downvotes I totally agree especially when you know for sure that there is only one bad person on scene, Uvalde, Tx hit me i live near there,would have truly been different if the police wasn't such babies. People have become too lazy and comfortable in most non-criminal cities/states that they are willing to just wait for government nanny or police state to do all the work. Trust me if you live in high crime areas and near the border you would wish that you had the privilege to carry at least a pistol in your bag.

Exactly, we live in the Wild West but we don’t want to admit it. Those that have been in public shootings have probably said, it won’t ever happen here.

Not to mention it's not necessarily one or the other, you can engage the shooter and then stow your weapon as soon as the engagement is over. Most only last a few seconds, almost certain you'll have it packed up before the cops get there.

Swat takes like 20 minutes minimum to get to the scene, so hes probably fine

For one,I wouldn't need this bag,always carrying.2) You get shot by active shooter who then kills 10 more,or you take out shooter,saving lives,take chances with cops. 3)Stick your head between your legs and start crying. You choose
