I never truly thought it would happen, but it did.

I can't help thinking about the next people who rent the OP's apartment if he moves to another to avoid another confrontation with these crooks. They won't be warned and probably won't be armed. Granted he has no obligation for their safety but I wonder if anybody advocating he move has considered the security of the next occupants?

I can't help but think EOTechRulesAll is really Gecko45 in disguise.

Gecko what? Isn't Gecko something from the auto insurance commercials? Also, if you claim I am somebody I am not, wouldn't the mods be able to see it via an IP check?

 

[sacp81170a]

It's a duct tape kinda thing. You wouldn't understand unless you do a search on gecko45.

 

[mekender]

If anybody commits a home invasion against me they are probably going to die. If they come to the upstairs of my house, they are absolutely going to die.

now im not sure i agree with some of the other stuff you said, but i cant argue with this... my state, and most states says that it is permissible to use lethal force to stop a home invasion... me stating that i intend to follow the law if i ever become the victim on something like that does not increase the chances of me being prosecuted... i get into a shootout in the street, maybe... but if im laying in bed watching the Simpsons when someone crashes through my window, i cant imagine any way for a prosecutor to take my use of lethal force the wrong way...

I did a member search and didn't come up with any such reptile.

 

[sierramist]

im probably doing a great disservice to him by saying this but...

from what i gather he is a mall ninja that specializes in heavy weaponry and ridiculous ( in a good way) tactics

You guys must have chased him off - I see nobody by that name in the members list.

 

[EOTechRulesAll]

I am not a mall ninja. I cannot recall the last time I've been to a shopping mall.

 

[P95loser]

YALL LEAVE EOTECHRULESALL ALONE!!!
He is the seargent of a three man Rapid Tactical Force in one of America's largest indoor retail facilities!!! He has a highly modified Segway outfitted with desert eagle .50s on each handlebar.

He regularly stores a Kel-Tec 380 in his anal cavity for the event he is captured and tortured "behind enemy lines".

Please don't do a disservice to our EOTECH friend and the country and RESPECT HIS AUTHORITY!

The real story of the Gecko

PS. Sorry about this post, I know it wasn't very high road and I expect mods to lock this thread shortly.

 

[EOTechRulesAll]

I don't plan to be taken alive, but if I am captured I fully expect to be tortured and either executed or eventually broken. I know what tortures I figure I can withstand and which ones will probably break me (or at some point break me). I firmly believe that most people know what they are capable of (morally/hypothetically) and most people have a rough/basic idea of what they will do, how they will hold up, in a particular situation.

I do not keep a weapon in my rear, I would not do such a thing. If it is God's will, then I will be captured, if it is not, then I will not be.

EOTech...What's goin' on, man? Have you done something, or are you thinking about doing something, for which law enforcement might seek to take you into custody?

Uhhh...guys...lighten up...there is something going on here that could spin out of control, if you know what I mean.

We were lightening up. Mentioning one's uber tactical plans to deal with multi-attacker home invasion scenarios by "killing 'em all and letting God sort 'em out" is sure to earn a comparison to gecko45 around here. Sorry we're having a little fun at your expense, EoTech, it's just that when someone talks in terms of absolutes like you've been doing without considering the fact that we're not at war in the streets (yet) strikes a few of the older and wiser heads around here as being absurd. Thus the mention of gecko45. Duct tape and ceramic plates are, as always, optional.

Edit to add:

Dude, sleeping with a pistol in your hand is bad juju. Admitting that you practice unsafe gun handling as a matter of course and then defending the practice shows that you need to reconsider your motivations.

 

[EOTechRulesAll]

I haven't done anything illegal and do not plan to, however when people start talking about torture, it seems they are talking about something more than just illegal/legal in the USA anyway. I don't believe US LEOs are going to take a pair of jumper cables to my reproductive equipment, so when somebody says torture I generally assume either A- total martial law police state or B- backwards banana republic/foreign communist state.

 

[EOTechRulesAll]

Now what if I said that 75% of the time I sleep with a pistol I either sleep with it just tucked under a pillow next to my body, or unchambered and in my hand, and only about 25% of the time do I actually keep my hand either A- on it or B- next to it and able to sweep forward and grab it up in a single motion.

Don't you know where your pistol is just by the feel of things, when you sleep?

 

[EOTechRulesAll]

phoglund-


I believe he has a moral obligation to warn the future occupants if he moves along for greener pastures. Any of us would hope for the same warning, so that warning should be given as it does not cost him anything and it may very well save a life.

 

[sacp81170a]

Don't you know where your pistol is just by the feel of things, when you sleep?

Absolutely. Holstered in a fixed position, safely out of arms' reach (I have to move from my normal sleeping position to get to it) with the trigger covered. That way I have to make a conscious decision to draw it before it can be fired. The way you describe sleeping with your weapon has gotten several people wounded or killed, most recently a female LEO who slept with her pistol under her pillow. If the area where you live is so dangerous that the proven risk of sleeping with a loaded weapon in the bed with you is acceptable, I'd think seriously about finding another place to live. If it isn't, then you're doing something unsafe and risky for no good reason, which is just plain dumb.

 

[Markbo]

EoTech... I am sorry if having a little fun at your expense crossed the line. Do you really expect that you will be captured by someone and tortured soon? Who do you think these persons are?

 

[EOTechRulesAll]

I don't expect to be captured/tortured at all, but I am possibly going into the USMC at some point in the next year (as an officer) if I decide to go to OCS, and contingent upon my completion of it, and it is not too hard to imagine what would happen if captured by enemy forces in either Iraq or Afghanistan.


Somebody talked about torture in the context of being taken alive in this nation. I assume if things get so far gone and the situation in this country is so bad, that we are being detained in a fashion consistent with a martial law police state, torture will be an ever-present reality.

Other than that, I do not believe anybody is out to "get" me, save for perhaps a few of my specific personal enemies who have from time-to-time issued varying types of threats. Although I rarely have any enemies these days, at least not personally in face-to-face situations.

Warning: Thread-drift

EOTech:
Nobody is "out to get you" - except a few personal enemies who issued threats?

How many people have issued threats? What are the nature of those threats? Have you notified the police that you are being threatened?

 

[sph33r]

This thread made me look for more of Mr EoTech's posts.

I would recommend not sleeping with a gun in your hand when you're with your first, second, or possibly third wife. And especially not with 10-20 children running around the house.

Now that y'all have dragged this thread kicking and screaming into the road ditch, and done numerous unspeakable things to it, and given the fact that we haven't heard from the OP in over two pages now, I'm putting a period at the end.
