 Dated but still useful November 6, 2007
2 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book would be excellent if it were updated. It contains a lot of useful info but needs to be brought up to the 21st century.
 A dose of common sense October 25, 2007

This book unearths the common sense, ethical, and legal considerations you need to explore, in depth, if you are considering armed self-defense. It is concise, well written, and gives you a good starting point for your education in the mind set necessary to effectively protect yourself and others.
 A "must read" for any handgun owner October 6, 2007

I ordered this on a recommendation from a coworker. He is a former Sheriff's Deputy and is thoughtful and level-headed. The information in the book is well reasoned and clearly explained and should be required reading for any new handgun owner or those considering a gun purchase for self-protection.
 Good ONLY for total beginner August 26, 2007

I came away with literally nothing new from this book. If you have read many web forums or other books- this is aimed at complete newbies.
I also didn't like the writing style or editing. If you know the very basics and don't want to be 'spoken' to like a 5yr old get Andy Stanford's excellent Surgical Speed Shooting.
I am just not the target audience for this material.
Nothing new if you know anything already... August 18, 2007
5 out of 7 found this review helpful
After all the hype about this book and the foreword and endorsement from Massad Ayoob, I really thought this book would teach me something new. It didn't. I expected a nice primer on tactics and exercises, instead I got a bunch of rudimentary safety lecturing and rehash of obvious and well-known ideas and rules for handling a firearm. If you have NEVER owned a firearm before, this book may teach you something. If you do own a firearm and have any proficiency with it - that is, you take it out of the drawer from time to time to practice at the range - then don't waste your money on this very basic and boring book. This book has nothing to do with helping you move towards the decision to go CCW or really even how to defend your own home, except for one short chapter - and all of it is all common sense stuff anyway. An average book with nothing new.
