He stated in several videos he was retired LE, so he might have been both. Or maybe he was a volunteer Sheriff's Deputy, or something? I don't know. I just know what he's said. I was a big fan, I used to watch every video he ever made, and respected his opinion on many firearms, and his knowledge about them... Right up until that Fudd shit supporting the Bumpstock Ban and ERPO laws. Then I never wanted to watch another video, and I unsubbed from him.
I also had to unsubscribe from Demo Ranch, because it got retarded, as well. It stopped being about the guns themselves, and became more and more about doing over-the-top stupid pop-culture trendy shit just for views and clicks. He even stopped doing vet work, and gave away his kids' puppy after he made a couple videos about giving it to them after his other dog died, and then you just stopped seeing the puppy after a couple videos, and it finally came out that only did that for views, and he actually gave it away to someone else. What a shitty thing to do.
The only OG GunTuber I thought got the dirty end of a shaft was Kyle from FPS Russia. Dude had like less than 1 oz of pot, and then the Fedboi's fucked him up. They railroaded him...I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't a frame job to deplatform him because of his popularity.
