Say goodbye to Gunkid...

[EddieCoyle]

Don't flame me for this but... I'm going to kinda miss him. His posts could be pretty entertaining if you didn't let him get under your skin. Of course, if I was a moderator I'm sure I would feel differently - talk about high maintenance.

Looking through the links posted in this thread (and the additional links in the linked threads), I find it truly amazing that someone could be so notorious on so many fora.

I really thought he was a kid. To find out that he's a 54 year old man makes me feel downright mature for my age.

 

[Ryder]

He was such a prolific poster that one message board gave him his own sub-forum. He was a one man message board. The more you post the more people will disagree with you. You can't please everybody and flock mentality simply does not allow for pure free speech. He was a black sheep but he singled himself out for the persecution.

His theories were not in agreement with mine. His postings did cause me to think about these things from different angles though and that's something I will always be appreciative of. Even so I could only stand a very limited amount of reading him before feeling I had overdosed.

I wish nobody bad for their thoughts, possessions, or activities where nobody has been hurt but if he is indeed a thief he deserves anything he gets. That still needs to be proven though. I for one never heard of a woman having a storage locker full of guns. Sounds probable to me that the unit was simply registered in her name and the stuff belonged to him in the first place. It makes no sense to me that he would be so honest as to admit being a felon in possession then turn out to be a thief.

Agents later searched the Norman storage unit and seized a 9 millimeter pistol, a .22 caliber pistol, a .45 caliber pistol, a .223 caliber rifle, a Colt pistol, possible silencers, gun parts and more than 10,900 bullets of various calibers

How are you supposed to carry 10,900 bullets in your tactical wheelbarrow without causing a flat tire from the weight?

 

[Preacherman]

Beachmaster, that's simple - use a solid tire, without anything inside. Gunkid would understand the concept - he used a solid brain for years . . .

 

[Red Tornado]

How are you supposed to carry 10,900 bullets in your tactical wheelbarrow without causing a flat tire from the weight?

That's probably 10,500 .22 LR rounds. Gunkid knew the advantage of the .22 and surely wouldn't burden himself with unnecessary ammo. Glad he's no longer a danger to innocents. However, as mentioned, he did make you think sometimes. Usually you thought, "Is he insane, or does he have some unconventional point?" Then you think a little more and realize, "Yeah, he's just insane."

goodby gunkid

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't he also known as andy? If this is the case, you read his exploits and ramblings on the armslocker forums. What a nutcase!

 

[Nightcrawler]

Will somebody please tell me what the deal with the wheelbarrow is?

 

[cvb]

wheelbarrow

as far back as TFL, GK has advocated the use of the tactical wheelbarrow to
carry all yous ammo/ guns esp the AR with the 22 upper. Somehow I thought
that was funny, thoughtful yes but funny as heck until I started seeing them at the local 3 gun matches.

 

[SuperNaut]

I'm imagining the GunKid Tactical Wheelbarrow (tm) now:

Ti frame, run flat tire, 30lpi checkered handgrips, stainless bucket, picatinny rails on each side...

Uh-oh, I think I want one!

He was already a convicted felon to begin with, so I have a hard time understanding how the guns could possibly be his.

 

[Leif]

Was Gunkid the same as LuckyinKentucky of the great Dragunov showdown on TFL a while back?

Does a list of his aliases exist somewhere?

 

[roscoe]

That was a different guy, I believe. But what a great thread that was!! "My brother did it"! That one had me laughing!

 

[lbmii]

I will bet this weeks paycheck that Gunkid was not wearing a shirt when he was arrested at his trailer home.

 

[the 22 junkie]

Is gunkid like that guy the mall ninja, whats his name, gecko-45 i think it was?

 

[mp510]

It makes no sense to me that he would be so honest as to admit being a felon in possession then turn out to be a thief.

A majority of the guns that convicted felons have were stolen from their legal owners, and sold on the black market. Other ones comes from private transactions that don't involve a NICS check, and the seller has no clue that the buyer is an convict. And, if your gunkid, some of your firearms are home made.

 

[The Grand Inquisitor]

I remember this human defect was on every shooting board for about three years writing book length posts about how the Steyr M and S series pistols had severe manufacturing errors and were blowing up in record numbers.


He would write pages and pages about the various defects of the pistols, but he was never quite able to find one example of a Steyr pistol blowing up. Regardless, he was sure that all of us who had run a few thousand rounds threw our Steyr's were on the next hurse to the funeral home...but lo' and behold...no one ever reported a Steyr blowing up.


All of our religious members should begin saying prayers for the psych staff at whatever prison gunkid will be staying at...they all are going to need a little divine intervention in order to stop themselves from either jumping off a bridge or strangling our dear friend.

 

[IZinterrogator]

Was Gunkid the same as LuckyinKentucky of the great Dragunov showdown on TFL a while back?

Nah, Lucky was going to use a .338 Lapua for the match and insisted everyone use something bigger than .30 caliber. Gunkid would have used a .22LR, touting its aerodynamic advantage or some other garbage...

I still want to kick Lucky's ass for the "I'm a Marine sniper" statement.

 

[Mr Kablammo]

Gunkid... Gott im Himmel, the very definition of the 'tar baby'. What a hoot and a dope that guy was. He was all over the place, in many different ways. Thanks for posting this information. For those of us who were not in the know this is a kind of closure to learn the name and fate of 'The Gunkid'. Shouldn't there be a ceremony of some kind to retire his username? Sounding of 'Taps'.

 

[P95Carry]

Unfortunately - GunKid was only his first name of notoriety.

More followed over the years than you can shake a stick at!! Hardin was another but there were so many I forget them.

I have said already - were I to receive $5 for every time he was banned from many boards - I would be able to go buy a high end loaded 1911

 

[JohnKSa]

Does a list of his aliases exist somewhere?

There are lists, but there is no complete list.

He's been banned here many times and I don't think anyone kept track of all of the names he's used here. Folks got good at recognizing his trademarks so he'd register under a new name, post a few times and get banned.

It would be impossible for a single person to know all his aliases.

You can do an internet search on hardin or gunkid and get more information than you really care to know...

Here are some names he has used on the net, but this is not an exhaustive list by any means.

The Assault Wheelbarrow

 

[armoredman]

NICE! Not quite, I think his AW had a gunshield he could mount his CAR with 22 kit and supressor on, or somesuch like that.
BTW, old, bad physical shape inmates have another name - target. Anyone lay odds he's already PC'd up?
No inmate access to computers in AZ, but years ago, there was, and that cause LOTS of hate and discontent!
Ah, Johnny, you have a new definition to "covering your six", now....

 

[Ryder]

He was already a convicted felon to begin with, so I have a hard time understanding how the guns could possibly be his.

My guess is he supplied the money and she bought them for him (as any wife would do). She decided to keep them when they split up since her name is on the paperwork. When he repo'ed what he believed to be his rightful property she had no choice but to report them as her stolen to cover her straw purchase crimes. Failure to do so would be an admission of guilt on her part if he was ever caught with the guns and they were traced back to her.

Gunkid vs. Mall Ninja

There were similarites in the mall ninja and gunkid, but I'm pretty sure that the mall ninja was supposed to be joke and just took off. Gunkid wasn't trying to be a joke, he just was. He had some good ideas, but they were outweighed by his really stupid ones. Not only that, he felt that any ideas that conflicted with his had to be wrong. His manner was way too abrasive and caused people to react negativley to him. All he had to do was post in his distinctive manner, and the worst in all of us would come out and we'd all sink to his level.

Good riddance to scum...

 

[Mrs. Armoredman]

I know I have not posted in a while but I could not resist this thread. I say give his ex-wife a medal and she should be given an award for putting up with him as long as she did.

RTP GK Return to prision (again). HA HA HA I am glad they finally got him. I hope he never hurts anyone ever again.
