Butler’s ranch looks like a cross between the Playboy Mansion and the set of Gunsmoke. Almost all the shooting instructors here are female, a team once dubbed Taran’s Angels.

Yeah, baby!

Let’s Go!

Yes lets!

He’s the one that did a lot of Keanu Reeves training for the Wick series.

The headline led me to believe that he was going to be in a movie, but oh well..
Prolly would been B rate.

My main gripe tho..

Butler, meanwhile, was cashing in on his niche market—Hollywood elite and Instagram influencers. “I sell them guns with a laser flashlight on it, so that way it’s intimidating,” he says.

I understand the seller sells them whatever they want, training be damned.
But espousing this BS is just perpetuating the ocean of misinformation in this industry.

At least he is helping to make some action movies believable. The article said that he taught the Rock and the Rock is now anti-gun person.

Yeah I always had respect for the rock, now he is just an old roided moron.

He's a sellout, plain and simple. The crocodile will eventually get to him, he's simply feeding it right now in the hopes it eats him last.

If the man had integrity, he wouldn't do what he does and train the antigunners. He's seeking fame and fortune, period, there is nothing to admire about the man. No different than any politician that acts in the way that will get them the most power and money.

Have a great, gun carryin', Kenpo day

I’m with this. Plus, it seems the community quickly forgot how much of an effing creep the dude is, with the whole “let me see your precious” BS…

Supporting this sleazebag is why this country is going down the toilet IMO.

^^^^
Embracing anything he does just because he’s a ‘ gun guy’ is the wrong message.

 

[QuietM4]

He's wasn't famous enough to be a victim of #metoo last year, but the more popular and known he becomes, he is just inviting to be cancelled.

I've known him for several years...he's a creep. He surrounds himself with barely legal babes for a reason...he's just asking for trouble.

Never have been a fan of his. The dude is a creep, it is pretty obvious.

I would be willing to bet his activism only extends as far as those hollywood dollars these days. He may be doing a great job training some of the "Ok for me, but not for the peasants" hollywood dingleberries - but I wouldn't want anything to do with him. The Jade Struck incident(s) are probably only the tip of the iceberg.

 

[was21]

He caters to clientele wearing crocs and white rimmed sunglasses and para cord bracelets.....your typical gun posers and gamers.... no serious guys take him for real. Unfortunately that is most of the industry these days IMO.

 

[smithers599]

He's a great shooter, and apparently a great teacher, but yeah, he is Harvay Weinstein with a gun.
Telling an 18-year-old to show her vagina, even as a joke, is not appropriate behavior.

Remember Billy Abbate (Team Glock coach) and Tori Nonaka?

Creeps gonna creep.
