Chris Sfinas / Guardian Training Center - Shooting range in Pennsylvania run by an unhinged lunatic, puts bounties on the heads of people who make fun of him, general Internet tough guy behavior, snitches to the ATF

Bassomatic · 23 Wrz 2021

I didn't want to culture sperg but, this is related. You should learn to use a firearm to protect yourself. Period. This is an opinion of mine this isn't a hot take.

You know what's even fucking better than that? We live in the fucking united states. You want a wall hanger that's a fully functional BAR? You do you bro. Don't give a fuck about break ins and got some crazy o/u trap rig? As long as your pro rights for all good people.

I know people who hunt only collect etc. While it's good to learn how to defend yourself we are a free people and don't have to own an AR and know how to clear jams slice the pie etc. I can walk into my local gun shop buy a shot gun and paint it like an anime girl and that be my entire link to firearms.

When you start forcing people to use a right it's no longer a right. Assholes like Chris probably hate Uncle Jerry because he does silly things and speed shoots. I'm sure he hates Hikok as well for being cheery.

His tough guy be ready to kill everyone shit scares people away. He's an edgy faggot and that's a niche in gun circles.

Lastly, he really is flat wrong (not debate but wrong) about needing mall ninja shit. If you're ever using a gun for sport food or defense use what you're best with and feel safe using.

Being hit by a 22 is WAY worse than a drum mag of 7.62 being wiffed at you.

I forgot that Amy's husband would take the servers' tips. Piece of shit. I wonder how the owner of GTC treats their employees. I expect it's similar. It'd be hilarious if a disgruntled ex employee did a retelling of their experiences.

PA has stricter trending firearm laws. How does this hilariously overt autist still have a gun license and gun centric business? Phillycrats would cum at the thought of taking away his guns.

An alleged employee (listed as verified but I have no idea who verified him/her) had this to say about him.

"Doug isn't that type of person from what I know of him, he will engage in conversation but doesn't tend to go straight for the throat like Chris and Mike C. The person who de-escalates almost all of the problems with customers at GTC was Doug.

It's Mike C the TacBay coach and Chris the owner who are doing all of this. They both have PTSD and short tempers, and are wounded warriors who are now irrelevant in normal civilian life. It's a tough pill to swallow, when you're big shit in the armed forces with 200+ people at your command, but you get hurt, and can no longer do what you loved to do...i get that. It doesn't give them the right to see every situations as "a fight." which is exactly what they do.

They did "come after" me. They sent me a text from one of the many burner phones Chris had me set up for him. "We know who you are and what you've been saying. You are not anonymous. Be seeing you soon." as well as "I'm really looking forward to what happens next!" to which I replied "grow up." and blocked him. That night he is when he began his 36-48hr campaign where he bombarded Reddit and PAFOA.

That night he went to my business page on Facebook, made another fake FB account, and left a negative review on my business page. Then his main account, and the TacBay Coach Mike's main account on FB began to dox me and my fiance, calling me names, calling my future wife names; as soon as he began using anything personal I ever told him against me, I was 120% certain at that moment that he is a narcisst. I'm not exactly sure what they said TBQH, I just expanded the whole thing top to bottom, made sure it was all photographed for proof (I'm in an unemployment battle with them currently for hostile/toxic work environment), and then submitted a report on the post to FB for harassment. Literally 1 minute later it was off of my business page. YAY FB.

What he doesn't expect from me, is that I have every single name, number, and fake email from every network he owns, that I was aware of at the time. That's over 100+ fake accounts across about 30+ burner phones from Walmart/Target. I also have a notepad that I've recently digitized, of every time Chris or Mike did something that I would consider Toxic/Hostile. I have literally 173 entries in this notepad, of examples of their total and utter hostility towards EVERYONE. Its not just what they did to the employees while I was there, it's also what Chris did to customers. If he told me to ban someone, and he said anything racist or bigoted about them, I would write that in the notepad as the reason, along with the exact quote he would say to me at that moment. Typically though, a large majority of these quotes are "I don't care, just find a reason to get those fucking n**gers out of/off of my range!"

I began taking notes and making a historical record back in October of 2020. That's 173 different instances of hostility from October 2020 to April 2021. That's an average of 25 instances a month of Chris and Mike just being a complete and utter dick heads to people and employees. Some are repeats, ill admit it, but the 10th time or 15th time Mike C said to me "I'm going to shoot you in the head, and then fuck the bullet hole just to see you twitch." is still relevant to it being a hostile work environment as the first time."

Rose Breeder powiedział(a):
If the allegations regarding his misuse of NICS in the pursuit of revealing the identities of those who left negative reviews on the business are proven to be correct, there is quite a high likelihood of the aforementioned taking place. Holding an FFL and engaging in firearm-related business in general aren't exactly Felon-friendly business sectors.

Leghorn powiedział(a):
As far as I know, you don't necessarily need an FFL to run a shooting range, only to be able to sell and transfer firearms at the range store. Losing the FFL would take a chunk of their income, but wouldn't shut them down unless misuse of the NICS system is a felony, which would bar them from owning or being near firearms.

It's PICS, Pennsylvania's state instant check system both NICS point of contact and state level instant check, and yes unlawful access is a felony. 18 PA CS 6111(g)(3)

(3) Any person, licensed dealer, licensed manufacturer or licensed importer who knowingly and intentionally requests a criminal history, juvenile delinquency or mental health record check or other confidential information from the Pennsylvania State Police under this chapter for any purpose other than compliance with this chapter or knowingly and intentionally disseminates any criminal history, juvenile delinquency or mental health record or other confidential information to any person other than the subject of the information commits a felony of the third degree.

ePICS, the PICS web portal, has the below warning since the day it was created.

As provided in 18 Pa. C.S. § 6111(g) (3) of the Pennsylvania Uniform Firearms Act, "...Any person, licensed dealer, licensed manufacturer or licensed importer who knowingly and intentionally requests a criminal history, juvenile delinquency or mental health record check or other confidential information from the Pennsylvania State Police under this chapter for any purpose other than compliance with this chapter or knowingly and intentionally disseminates any criminal history, juvenile delinquency or mental health record or other confidential information to any person other than the subject of the information commits a felony of the third degree."

This is also the state's least enforced felony.

You should take it VERY seriously. But that doesn't mean you can't also have fun with guns.

Same for driving - you absolutely should be paying attention behind the wheel and PUT THE FUCKING PHONE DOWN, SHARKEESHA, but that doesn't mean you can't go rallying from time to time.

Holy fucking shit regarding the level of autism he had to make those burners.

RA-5C Vigilante · 23 Wrz 2021

Oh boy, my state gets some more lolcow representation. Not surprised that it's a place near Filthydelphia, and even less surprised that the twitchy shitstirrers are former military. As someone from near that area, and with service under my increasingly tight civilian belt, the mix of total hooah dickheads, firearms, Philly suburban ""people"" and the wonders of internet reviewing is a match made in heaven for anyone wanting a trainwreck.
Nearby Horsham also has a rare extra ingredient, because it's also home to a National Guard facility with a Stryker unit nearby, so you know that some of them nasty girls living nearby probably go there think they're all tactical and shit.
Edit:
Took a google map tour of their facility and the last result was from about 3 years ago.

Take a guess on who the dickhead owning that ugly ass, "Army Tan" Hummer is.

Bassomatic · 23 Wrz 2021

Side note that's an h2 or h3. So not based off the military ride at all. Literally a Chevy SUV in a off road "dress". They aren't that pricy because they suck.

Awww poor Chris not making enough over charging first time buyers too much for a shoddy RMR cut slide Glock with airsoft glass? Can't swing the used H1 alpha? Or does your cheese burger budget limit your car choices? We all know it's not spent going to real shooting schools like gunsite.

Edit: another semi local armed kiwi. I'm not sure if I should be scared from the unhinged gun shop owner or there's a bunch of internet faggots with heaters close by.

Jk love you guys. Plz no shoot.

Should've gone to Colemans in Millersburg and got a Deuce and a Half. They aren't even that expensive.

I knew it was a civ hummer, but I wasn't sure if it was an H2 or H3. Point being, that is a stereotypical "Out of the Army and struggling to find my place in it, so I'll just keep acting as Army as possible" vehicle purchase. Whoever owns that, you could've been a bit less gay and gotten a pickup truck to compensate some more. Hell, you should've gotten a Raptor with all the effort you're putting in

TerminalTryHard · 23 Wrz 2021

I'm really sick of brovets acting like cunts and than pulling the "muh PTSD" every time they get rightfully called out for being a cunt. I'm always super interested in his DD214 now, cause I have the sneaking suspicion he's full of shit. Do we even know his MOS? cause if I had to guess I'm going to say MP.

He needs to hurry up and find this thread though, because I can't wait for this to escalate.

Edit: Also, this is an H2.

H2, the H3 is basically a GMC Canyon but shittier since it has half the utility, even less ground clearance, and was almost exclusively sold with the awful I5 L52/LLR. It's too heavy for the 4L60e.

It's the same deal with the H2, except now we're essentially talking about a Cadillac Escalade. They had an LQ4 6.0 mated to the same 4L60e (later 4L65e). The V8 GM put in the Canyon/Colorado/H3 (5.3L LH8 then LH9) was even gimped to avoid blowing the 4L60e, but in the H2 they put the same LQ4 6.0 (later 6.2) used 16k+ GVWR medium duty trucks in front of a 4L60e. Pull a copy of the 2007 Medium Duty Truck and Incomplete Vehicle VIN System if you don't believe me; it's in the bottom right for digit 8 code "U" "GM 6.0L V8 MFI GASOLINE (LQ4)"

To be clear, they gimped the weaker 5.3 in order to avoid blowing the 4L60e in a 5k GVWR pickup then put a motor used in MEDIUM DUTY trucks in front of a 4L60e in the H2 with an 8k GVWR. That's the Hummer H2.

All of this is to say that buying an H2 or H3 makes you a retard until proven otherwise.

I believe it is least enforced because PA law also states that the PSP must destroy the records of PICS request after a couple of days after the check was completed.

A bit more from the former employee on Reddit. He claims to have worked there from July 2020 to April 2021.

The first post is someone claiming GTC tried to extort him.

The employee backs this up.
