We will only take orders through this Saturday. Get your order in ASAP if you want one.
New Belt
19 years ago my beloved Bride went to ProArms on in SLC (how many guys remember that awesome cop-shop?) and purchased all my police gear so I could go to the Police Academy at Colorado Northwestern.
One of the things she picked up was a gun belt by Ted Blocker. I’ve worn that belt damn near every day ever since I got it. The same belt.
Crusader Sterlings
I am very pleased with how well these Crusader Sterlings have done. This project is going to be a lot of fun and I’ll be working on these things personally, along side GunDoctor. I am really looking forward to getting my hands dirty and taking a photo amongst a bunch of SMG’s.
I might have to change the name of the Blog to The Happy Ogre.
Gaming Fudd.
I think I’m a gaming Fudd. I’m a die hard PC Gamer and I’m really only interested in First Person Shooters (especially if they are in the Horror genre) and Simulators. I really don’t care about any other game types, even if I’ve dabbled in RTS and RPG’s.
Because of the FPS Fixation, I scoff at Consoles. Reason being is Mouse Aiming. Controller Aiming flat blows. And WASD combined with Mouse Aiming allows for very smooth and fluid movement. Controllers, not so much.
Crusader Sterling SMG: Place Your Order.
Those of you that said you wanted a Sterling. We are doing a limited run of these guns as these are a side project. Because of this these guns must be pre-paid. Price is $639.99 each.
These are Semi-Auto Only, 9mm, Slipstream Treated internals, Duracoat finished. A perfect vehicle to SBR and/or suppress.
To Place Your Order. Contact Joe at Crusader Weaponry to send your payment for the gun and specify your Color. Flat Black, Olive Drab, or Coyote Brown. (some parts will be black and/or Slipstreamed Grey)
Check your State Laws to see if these are legal. They are classified as 9mm Rifles.
For some more information on the Sterling, I offer a link to this informational video. To show you what these things originally were capable of, I will show you this video… but please note – we are only selling semi auto only versions with 16 inch barrels… not actual Submachineguns as shown below:
More Trolley Square Trauma
The subject of the Trolley Square Shooting is back in the news. Back in 2007 there was a shooting spree at the Trolley Square Mall in SLC. I remember that day clearly. I was going to take my Son to Trolley Square so we could buy a gift for Mrs. Ogre from her favorite little store there at Trolley Square. We were about to head out when I mentioned my destination to a co-worker. That co-worker said “That store isn’t there anymore.” Had we left then instead of going to a Plan B… my Son and I would have been there at Trolley Square, and I would have parked where I always parked, going in that entrance I always go there. We would have been right there in the center of the shooting.
I can’t Mom.
Teaching our children about Patriotism… respecting the flag… all that…
“I can’t, Mom. This isn’t the country you taught me about.”
Ouch. The boy speaks a painful truth. He’s right. This isn’t the country I and my brothers swore oaths to defend. Especially when you consider Day Time Curfews…
Energy Policy Problems
There has been a lot of talk by Obama and his henchmen about crushing Coal. In his own words, what has Obama said about Coal? He said he wants to bankrupt them.
Yet the Department of Energy, on their own website, seems to support Coal.
Coal is one of the true measures of the energy strength of the United States. One quarter of the world’s coal reserves are found within the United States, and the energy content of the nation’s coal resources exceeds that of all the world’s known recoverable oil. Coal is also the workhorse of the nation’s electric power industry, supplying more than half the electricity consumed by Americans.
Interesting. Obama’s Energy Czar was on a crusade to kill coal, but luckily he resigned. Regardless of what happened… The intention was there.
From the DOE’s page, over half of the Nation’s Energy is from Coal. And Obama wanted to bankrupt that? In Texas they have had rolling blackouts because of a lack of energy from coal…
Here’s the deal, America is rich with natural energy. We have oil and natural gas under our feet. Energy should be CHEAP for us. But it isn’t. Why isn’t it?
Tentative Date: Crusader Training 3-26
The only date in March that I have for Training is the 26th. The course is Defensive Pistol, as that’s what most folks are asking for right off the bat.
However that time last year, and the year before, the Range was a Mud Bog. The ground, isn’t frozen anymore and the soil is completely saturated. 4×4’s get stuck, in fact, last year… several did. So I’m looking for an alternative venue. There are a couple possibilities, one on the Wasatch Front. I’ll post as things develop.
Another thing I want to do is a Crusader Teaghlach Training Day: A training day for Family Members and Close Friends of Crusader Weaponry… Wives, In Laws, Parents, and even Children. Grilling and Gunning at the Range. I’m thinking early summer. Cost of the course will be Meat and Beverages.
Interesting observation
On the way to Church this morning, I saw something interesting. A hawk swooped down on a dove that was sitting on a powerline. The hawk drove the dove to the ground, tearing it’s chest open. The hawk wasn’t much bigger than the dove… it was a small hawk. Not sure of the species. The hawk tried, but was unable to carry the dead dove off. So it feasted on it’s kill where it laid. One of my younger boys who saw this as well, declared that this was “COOL!”
