I wonder if McNally knows a lawyer familiar with lock picking ;-)

Oh sweet never knew there was a connection between LPL and McNally - I just notice they always cut their shims from cans the same way

There aren't that many ways to cut a shim from a can that work and don't take excessive effort. It's a rounded hook shape, with a handle piece trimmed so you don't cut yourself.

Well they make it look easy I always end up cutting myself

I think McNally was in at least one of his videos if I remember correctly.

That explains so much. Done to well for a goof channel, eclectic assortment of skills ("tactical garden trowel" vs fully equipped metal shop vs perfect video production), all fat trimmed off the videos.

I kinda want tvtropes to put a name on his slapstick humor. It's like looking over the shoulder of that weird uncle that seems to live in an entirely different world.

In addition I've seen LPL refer to "my friend Trevor McNally" in a couple of videos.

> Probably not a coincidence that Covert Instruments wasn't named in the lawsuit

What's the non-coincidence?

That they avoided naming the lawyer or the lawyer's company in their bogus lawsuit and instead only named the non-lawyer.

He can still defend his employee, right?

My understanding is that LPL is not still practicing (he says he's retired, to focus on security work), but I'd guess he knows someone, if McNally didn't already have his own lawyer.

Even if he was practicing, if he were to take this case it would pretty obviously expose who he was.

So no matter what I would expect LPL would get someone he knew/equivalent to take the case.

I mean, it's not exactly a secret. If you really want to know you can look it up online. He even has a whole talk he gives about why he generally doesn't reveal his identity. People send him packages with trackers hidden in them, hire private investigators to follow him with bogus stories, etc.
