So all of this stuff was started by a guy outside the community, claiming to know everything about what happens on the inside.
I am actually inside the community, and yes, Trex has done some shooting instruction within the special operations world. Why does this matter? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Some nobody making a 30+ minute to talk about random instagram posts sure is reputable. Frankly I think this is all just people getting upset that he's getting attention meanwhile others are not who think they should be. It's why the brovets with their "anyone who didn't join the military is a poser" crowd is getting so mad. Here's what he literally posted: "lucastrexarms 3. I believe women should be respected.

I’ve seen it, and all of us including myself have disrespected women in some time of our life. However: it is vital that we respect women (yes, I know some women out there are vile, same goes for some men). I’m super thankful to work with awesome women every day at T.REX ARMS and be supported by the most awesome woman I know: Kara. Likewise; we must support them back. It’s amazing to me how many husbands/dudes demand their GFs/wives support them, but don’t reciprocate that same support. I know equality, patriarchy, and submission are big buzzwords for discussing women’s “place” in society these days (and men’s responsibilities for that matter). I’m simply of the opinion that women are equals with different strengths/weaknesses compared to men and should be respected. Unfortunately the industry I work in doesn’t always see women this way, but rather as sexual objects that can be used to sell product. As long as I am in business, I will never use women in this way, and refuse to work with companies engaging in such tasteless disrespect of women. - For those of you wondering how Kara and I operate as a couple, I’ll be sharing some of that in the future.

Quote HistoryQuoted: But how can we do that if we are all about eating our own? Criticism is not cancel culture. It’s not “eating our own.” It’s how we get better, if we’re wise enough to heed it. At the end of the day - if he's solid he will apologise to the SF/SOF/LEO community, if he has indeed been less than truthful - owning that will will do way more for him in terms of growth than fighting it. Good people will give him credit for owning his fuck ups. Honesty and integrity are important, as much so in business, as in other areas where he has little experience. From the relatively limited amount I've seen of him - I would say the following is reasonably accurate (1) has high levels of motivation (2) has high enthusiasm but is (3) based on his behaviour and various responses in the public domain, lacks resilience and (4) doesn't appear willing to listen to genuine subject matter experts. (3) Is difficult to fix but (4) is relatively easy to fix with a bit of common sense and humility. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Lucas and his family are Christian fundamentalist nutjobs who believe women exist as breeding stock and nothing more and that rape victims deserve to be put to death. Google Geoffrey Botkin if you want to learn more. It also doesn't help Lucas that he's posted some pretty racist and homophobic shit as well. And again, as has already been said - yeah, it's cool he's a pro 2A guy, but it also doesn't mean he can't also be a total douchebag as well - you can be both. https://i.imgur.com/U8zYNil.jpg So I’m bored and Googled the Dad.

Because you didn't post a bunch of redacted and censored instant messages!!! Quoted: Welp, I gotta admit. That video pretty well changed the way I view the kid. The bullshit tactics videos I can live with. He's not deploying. He's not ever gonna be put in a position that matters to national security. He's a civilian and that's all and that's fine. We need more honest, mentally fit, civilian gun owners. I figured despite the flaws he'd still do better than ANTIFA in urban combat. Whatever. Doesn't bug me. But the whole thing about surreptitiously filming himself "teaching" guys that are actually qualified and way more experienced than him just because they showed up to use his range is straight up dishonest. I can't stand liars or bullshit artists. A known liar cannot be a solid advocate for anything you hold dear. He had plenty of opportunity to be perfectly honest about who he is, what he knows, and what he can do. But he chose to lie. Repeatedly. I'm fine if he goes away and makes room for honest people doing similar things. The world needs more PatMac. So all I have to do, is make a bunch of claims, a few absolutely false ones, and post some censored instant messages and I can destroy anyone's reputation in your eyes. I hope I'm never judged by a jury

Every society and religion has segments that mistreat women as lesser beings. I’ll be the first to say that some Christians do it too. I’ve seen it, and all of us including myself have disrespected women in some time of our life. However: it is vital that we respect women (yes, I know some women out there are vile, same goes for some men). I’m super thankful to work with awesome women every day at T.REX ARMS and be supported by the most awesome woman I know: Kara. Likewise; we must support them back. It’s amazing to me how many husbands/dudes demand their GFs/wives support them, but don’t reciprocate that same support. I know equality, patriarchy, and submission are big buzzwords for discussing women’s “place” in society these days (and men’s responsibilities for that matter). I’m simply of the opinion that women are equals with different strengths/weaknesses compared to men and should be respected. Unfortunately the industry I work in doesn’t always see women this way, but rather as sexual objects that can be used to sell product. As long as I am in business, I will never use women in this way, and refuse to work with companies engaging in such tasteless disrespect of women. - For those of you wondering how Kara and I operate as a couple, I’ll be sharing some of that in the future. We are a team. That’s how it should be. " Dude's just showing people how to shoot. He's made it very clear he's not some SME on SUTs or CQB. Anyone who hates him is suspicious. i've hardly seen any posts here where anyone is mad at lucas for having fuck you money from his dad, for making a lot of money, or for being popular on instagram and youtube. no matter where you come from or how you got there, the gun community is actually very accepting and welcoming. just don't fucking be dishonest, especially for clout. that's what people have an issue with lucas for. maybe the guy's entire vid was bullshit, but it really didn't sound like it was. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I am actually inside the community, and yes, Trex has done some shooting instruction within the special operations world. Could you perhaps, expand on this? This is ultimately the crux, of the criticism toward Lucas/Trexarms. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: False. He was DQ'd at a match. I've seen highly competitive military and swat guys get DQ'd. Competitions are strict on 180 violations... which most people trying to be "tactical" don't think about. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/477522/Screenshot_20210712-211459_PractiScore_C-2011946.jpg Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Isn't this the dude who showed up to a comp, got smoked and hasn't been back?

Modlite is slimy as hell if they used this situation as an opportunity to jump ship because their feelings were hurt that he didn’t like their pistol light. What dumbass company doesn’t make a pistol light with both momentary and constant on. |
