Excellent primer on your right to protect yourself. The book contains several safety items that everyone who handles a gun should know. Additionally, it contains techniques, strategies and principles for your defense. Finally, the laws are illuminated nicely. I thought that the techniques were very detailed with lots of pictures displaying the right way to accomplish a task. Not a page-turner, but a good book for a new gun owner or for review by an established one.

Very handy and explains explicitly how to handle a gun

A short read, 200 pgs, Not a shoot'em up but what to do with what you've got if the need ever developed. This fills in an area that most people ignore.

Served to inform me but not convince me to own a gun.
