Who would be interested in buying a full house custom, built from the ground up, Crusader High Power? The price would be around 1800 bucks. Yes, it’s steep, I know… but these would be individually hand built, hand fitted, and hand finished.

Huckabee
Mike Huckabee says that he might give a Presidential run in 2012 a pass. Oh joy! I have a serious dislike of Mike Huckabee… he should stick to his radio show. But I hate his radio show as well. He’s always shilling his Simple Books, Simple Government, Simple Christmas… with his Huck This and Huck that… it really gets under my skin.
Why? Because Huckabee gave us Obama.
He stayed in the race only to make sure Mitt Romney couldn’t win. He divided the votes on purpose to allow McCain to win by such comfortable margins… McCain – the last guy any Conservative wanted to win the nomination. Then with some many people saying that they would never vote for McCain… they stayed home from the polls… Our turn out was low. Obama won each state by small margins overall. If we had a less distasteful candidate things would have been different. Instead, we got McCain and that allowed Obama to ride the Soul Train into the White House.
I hold Huckabee accountable for that. I also don’t like the fact that The Huckster is rabidly Anti-Mormon. Religious Bigotry because one Christian group believes differently than another Christian group. That’s small minded, pathetic, and is not a character trait that we need in a President.
Screw Huckabee.
The gun that killed OBL
Multiple sources have reported that the weapon that killed OBL is not an M4 SOPMOD, or a SIG P226… but an HK 416.
HK Fanboys are going to be insufferable now.
Respecting Kimber
I’ve had some emails where people think that I am disrespecting Kimber. Actually I feel that Kimber has disrespected the American Gun Culture. Taking us for granted.
Personally I have great respect for Kimber. They changed the 1911 Industry as a whole. Before Kimber, it was common to buy a new Colt or other 1911… and take it straight to a gunsmith so that they could make the gun simply run. Kimber comes out with the gun they called the “Custom”. And it worked right out of the box. They sold so well, that the other 1911 makers had to step up their games or they were out. It really kicked Colt in the Sweets hard.
I’m critical of Kimber because in my opinion they have let themselves down.. accepting lower standards and just expecting customers to just take it because they are Kimber and they know better. Well, that’s just not acceptable. Kimber needs to get back to building guns instead of making pretty. The need to take seriously the gun making responsibility. Guns are for Competition, for Law Enforcement, for Self Defense… These guns can Save Lives. They should take seriously a sacred responsibility to build guns right.
Information + Time = Value
I’ve spent several hours with an individual who had talked of ordering a rifle from me. We talked ballistics, caliber, BC, trajectory, rate of twist, air pressure, spin drift, shockwaves, bedding, trigger, stocks, brakes, MOA… I educated this guy for a very long time, to the point that other customers were going to other guys at the counter and making other sales.
(Updated) Armchair Quarterbacking: KIMBER
I’ve developed a love/hate thing on Kimber last couple of years. But lately it’s been more hating than loving. I have my reasons. So I have some serious criticisms for Kimber.
The .50 cal Ricochet to the head video
You guys have all seen the video before… I’m getting a lot of messages about it on facebook and youtube and such for some reason. I guess it gone around the forums again.
Okay, it’s an Armalite AR-50. The ammo was South African Mil-Surp. The range was 100 yards. The target plate was only 1/4″ thick. It should have been like tissue paper to the 750 grain slug at 2800 FPS. Willie, the shooter, is a Former Marine with a lot of experience. The plate was angled back and to the side. A ric should have gone up and to the right. It didn’t.
This was a freak accident that could have ended badly. The ric could have opened his head up, or it could have hit one of the guys behind him. It would have been like being hit point blank with a .45ACP, that’s how much energy that slug still had.
The slug struck the arm of his glasses and the ear-pro. It destroyed the electronic ear-pro, bent the arm, and it cracked the top of his jawbone.
The man that said “We’re not doing that anymore” is his father. He almost saw his Son get killed. It was also Willie’s daughter’s birthday. She almost lost her Dad that day. Everyone there was very lucky that Willie only caught a graze.
I first posted that video on MadOgre.com. In a manner of hours it crashed my server – repeatedly – because it went viral instantly. A MadOgre.com reader put it on YouTube. And it went viral all over again.
It’s been on TV a few times on different shows… and Willie has made some money on it. Willie remains a good friend to this day.
Bin Laden’s family may sue…
The Son of Osama Bin Laden is saying that they may sue the US Government because of the way the US Navy treatment of Osama.
Uh huh…
Does he know who Bin Laden was? The whole 9-11-01 thing? The whole 3,000 innocent lives lost because of Bin Laden?
Call Seal Team Six again, they have some more work to do.
The wave of destruction continues
Not content to destroy only the Auto-Industry, Oil Industry, Housing, Construction, Banking… The Feds are now after Fishermen. (Again)
A new Federal Regulation called “Catch-Share” is ruining lives, families, and causing suicides.
If the goal of the Government is to ruin everything they touch – they are batting a thousand. I swear, it’s like the Feds are the King Midas of Crap. Everything they touch turns to…
Editing
So I’m working on editing my book getting it ready for publication. I’ve come to the conclusion that editing on the screen of a Netbook is far more grinding than editing normally is. This makes it slow. As soon as this editing is done, I’ll be working on the cover. I’m going to do a photo type cover. Staging, costume, make up… and asking the Utah National Guard for the use of some Military Assets.
As soon as I can finish the editing. I hate editing. I hate editing on a Netbook at least 3 times as much.
