The violence in Libya is horrid and unfortunate… and it saddens anyone with even a small strain of humanity that a government would attack its own people. Because of this, there has been talk of a US intervention. This is a bad idea.

The News Media is as insane as Sheen
The top story across several news media outlets – all that I looked at – is Charlie Sheen’s mental breakdown. The man is a train wreck, but so what? The economy, oil prices, the horror in Libya and Egypt and all the problems in the world… Yet all they can focus on is Charlie Sheen.
Pathetic.

You know how a lot of people believe in an Open Government? No closed doors?
Well, HB477 is closing all the doors and windows. I frown upon this. I could use a harsher vocabulary, but I am striving to tone down the language… I’ve already edited this post 9 times. Contact your State Representatives and Senators. Today.
Crusader Special Projects
Cold Steel has a catalog called “Special Projects”, so we can’t use that name. Never mind that most of those Special Projects products have been there for years and what’s so special about them is questionable… I need a name for Crusader’s Limited Production Side Projects… LPSP… no, that doesn’t work. Anyways, the Sterling 9mm Carbine project nailed the goal exactly as I had hoped. I wanted to do a special side project, and sell 8 to 12 Sterlings. Well, we have 12 sold, including mine. We are waiting on checks to come in and we’re getting parts ordered and the project is now officially rolling. Thank you to everyone who is getting in on this.
Much talk came about on WeTheArmed.com about future Exclusive Offers. Some of the ideas floating out there… An Uzi, M3 Grease Gun, more Sterlings, a Tactical Lever Action, and of course a 1911. Before you guys all clamor over the M3… I looked around for parts sources for that, and I’m not happy with what I’m seeing. Or not seeing for that matter. So an M3 is going to be difficult. Same thing with the Beretta Model 12 SMG. I can’t find any of the parts kits that you used to be able to find everywhere. So what other ideas do you have for a future Crusader Exclusive Offer? (Hey… CEO… I like that…)
Top Shot Season 2
It’s the hip thing for all the super serious “Real Shooters” out there to dis on Top Shot. You can look in pretty much any Gun Forum and find the same general vibe. They hate Top Shot because of the Drama, yet they admit that the shooting stages look like a lot of fun.
Train with Sealed Mindset & Larry Yatch
You’ve heard him on Armed American Radio. You’ve seen him on National Geographic Television. Retired Navy SEAL and founder of Sealed Mindset, Larry Yatch, in conjunction with Armed American Radio will be conducting TWO classes in the greater Atlanta, GA area on Saturday April 2nd and Sunday April 3rd. Sealed Mindset’s DEFENSIVE HANDGUN course will be held on Saturday April 2nd. Sealed Mindset DEFENSIVE CARBINE course will be held on Sunday April 3rd. Larry Yatch will also conduct PRIVATE LESSONS for SEVEN lucky people on Friday, April 1st! Both classes will be held at the brand new state of the art, Patriot Range designed facility at BIG WOODS GOODS Extreme Hunting and Shooting facility in Holly Springs, GA just 30 minutes north of downtown Atlanta, GA. There will be a dinner engagement on Saturday April 2nd to meet Larry and Mark and to listen to Larry discuss some of his incredible SEAL activities on behalf of our country. The cost of the dinner is included with the Handgun and Carbine Class fee when the Warrior Training package is purchased. Participation is limited to 20 attendees per class.
Courses include classroom and range work each day with only 150 rounds of ammo required per student. This is the opportunity to learn real gunfighting skills directly from one of America’s true heroes.
FOR MORE INFORMATION AND TO SIGN UP TO ATTEND ONE OR BOTH CLASSES, PLEASE VISIT SEALED MINDSET
“Gun Talk” needs to edit their page
If you look at Gun Talk’s web page, you can see they are a little outdated.
Welcome to Tom Gresham’s Gun Talk®, the only nationally syndicated radio talk show about firearms, shooting and gun rights.
Yeah, we all know that’s not true anymore. Armed American Radio isn’t just another Firearms Related Radio show – It’s the fastest growing radio show of this type. AAR is set to surpass Gun Talk, if it continues with it’s current growth rate, before your kids go trick or treating again. However AAR isn’t continuing the same trend. AAR is accelerating… With all the new sponsors and major new markets opening up… AAR is getting huge. So Gun Talk needs to stop promoting that line. They used to pump that out on TheShootingWire newsletters and they finally stopped that. But they need to edit that blurb on their site.
Slip2000 Lube, Meh.
At SHOT Show I grabbed some samples of Slip2000. Another new weapons lube. I have to be honest… while it is better than RemOil, it’s highly disappointing stuff.
I’m not sure what I’d use this stuff on… Crusader’s Slipstream blows it away so hard, it’s not even funny. Maybe door hinges. Because if I use Slipstream, every time you’d shut the door, it would slam.
I mean, hell, I Slipstreamed my door lock on my truck and the damn thing locks every time I shut the door now. I discovered this… the hard way. D’OH!
Don’t think I don’t like it because it isn’t Slipstream. Yeah, I know I sell Slipstream… but that’s not it. There are several gun oils that I like and will use if Slipstream is not available. For example, Tetra Gun Oil. MPRO7, Hoppe’s Elite…
ATI 1911, I had no choice.
ATI is bringing in some really well made 1911’s. I’ve been eyeballing this Commander for almost 5 months now. Had to do it… I… can’t… help… myself.
I’m an addict… I know. I have a problem. I admit it. I LOVE guns.
Crusader Weaponry list of soon to be done upgrades: Full ST-1 Treatment. Trigger Job, Action Job, and an OD Green Duracoat on the grip frame. Then those nasty wood grips are getting replaced with something else… I don’t care what.
Sheep for the slaughter
You’ve all heard the news about the 2 soldiers that were killed in Germany. I’m not going to go into all that… save for one small little detail. Our soldiers were unarmed.
Once again, “Policy” has killed our troops. Our Policy is that all US Forces are unarmed almost all the time. This Policy allowed for more deaths at Ft. Hood as well.
