I’ve never been one for pranks, so don’t look for any hidden “joke” articles in SurvivalBlog on April Fool’s Day. April 1st is better recognized as the birthday of Arthur W. Pink (born 1886, died 15 July 1952.) He was a Christian evangelist and outstanding Reformed Biblical scholar. It was his meticulously referenced arguments in his book The Soverignty of God that first convinced me of the truth of the doctrine of Election.

You’ve probably already seen this: 40+ Officers & ATF Agents Raid Home of Youtube Gun Personality FPSRussia. So the “explosives experts” at the BATFE are ignorant about Tannerite exploding targets? Take a look at the FPS Russia videos with explosions. All that I’ve ever seen are explosions producing sandy-brown smoke, which is indicative of a Tannerite binary low explosive, (ammonium nitrate and aluminum powder-based), and/or orange flames from gasoline, both of which are perfectly legal under Federal law, and ditto in most of the 50 States. That includes the state of Georgia, where Myers lives. There was also an implication …

Today’s first article was written by L.K.O., SurvivalBlog’s Central Rockies Regional Editor.
March 24th is the anniversary of the mass escape of Allied POWs from Stalag Luft III, in 1944. Of the 76 men who escaped, just three made “home runs” to Allied territory. In a dastardly deed, 50 escapees who were re-captured were executed by the SS, on orders from the highest echelons of the Nazi government. I had the honor of meeting one of the Stalag Luft III survivors, Colonel Jerry Sage (1917-1993) of the OSS, late in his life. (In the movie The Great Escape, Steve McQueen’s character “Captain Virgil Hilts” was loosely based upon Jerry Sage. Sage once …
Today is the 238th anniversary of Patrick Henry’s famous “…but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” address at St. John’s Church, Richmond, Virginia. (March 23, 1775.)

Some disappointing news: Colorado’s Democrat Governor Hickenlooper just signed two new laws: a law that will ban any magazine over 15 round capacity, a ban on shotguns that can hold (or that can be converted to hold) more than 8 shells, and a ban on private party sales of guns. It seems that he has a reading disability. (See Colorado Constitution’s Article II, Section 13.) The only glimmer of hope is that the magazine ban won’t take effect until July 1, 2013. So Coloradans have until then to stock up their lifetime supply. Since the law’s grandfather clause will be …
March 20th is the birthday of Mel Tappan. (Born 1933, died 1980.)

Congratulations are in order for Joel Skousen, who by God’s Grace recently walked away from the crash of his Glasair kit plane, in in a forced rough field landing, following a fuel system failure. The crash landing occurred last Tuesday near Spanish Fork, Utah, on the return leg of cross country flight to Las Vegas. Joel was a fighter pilot in the Vietnam era, and has had countless hours of stick time as a private pilot, ever since. He kept a cool head in the incident, and that helped save his life. His plane was thoroughly pranged, but he walked …
