 Worthwhile Reading! August 14, 2007
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is a great book on using a handgun in self-defense. It is easy to read with short chapters that get right to the point. This is not the first book I've read on handguns, see also The Concealed Handgun Manual: How to Choose, Carry, and Shoot a Gun in Self Defense (Concealed Handgun Manual: How to Choose, Carry, & Shoot a Gun in Self Defense) and The Farnam Method of Defensive Handgunning, Second Edition but it adds good information in an easy-to-read format.
My only complaint is all the spelling and typographical errors. It's as if no one proof read it at all! When it's time for the next revision, send me a manuscript. I'll proofread it for free! The typos and spelling errors are easy to spot, and you'll stll get the author's message.
In spite of these minor errors, I still recommend this book to everyone interested using a handgun for self-defense.
 EVERYONE should read this August 7, 2007
I don't care if you are an expert, you think you are an expert, or if you are a concerned citizen of ANY political persuasion. This gives you the inside scoop on the second amendment and goes all the way through firearms basics and some more detailed information on what to do in dangerous situations. That it does so in a conversational manner makes it much easier to absorb the material.
It is a good refresher that you can turn to in order to answer many questions about firearms, and some questions you may not even have thought to ask! Read it!!! NOW!
Another winner! July 12, 2007

Mr. Kenik has put some time in on this one, and it shows. Solid advice, well-written, and includes a good spread of what you should carry, and why. This is another that should be read and re-read. Not all gun carry books are equal, but this one rises to the top.
Read this if you carry concealed May 14, 2007

This is an in-your-face, tell it like it is, discussion of the good and bad of carrying a concealed weapon. The snap decisions you might make under extreme pressure may have dire consequences unless you understand what you can and cannot do to defend yourself.
Very enlightening. A quick read on a very serious matter.
 Good reading for someone new to concealed carry and guns April 27, 2007

The problem with books of this type is authors assume someone just bought their first gun THAT DAY along with their book. "Armed Response" is for someone new to guns for defense purposes (as opposed to hunting and target shooting). Although the book starts with a bang, it squibs in the middle -- with previously well-covered material -- and picks up again toward the end. It is not comprehensive in terms of depth as it claims; it is an overview. Truly, books by Ayoob and Spaulding have covered this ground better.
The author's dislike of the "new" double action/single action trigger systems and unreliable 1911 single action triggers for defense is just plain odd. The author is at his best when he is "real-world" voice and speaking from the place where personal truth lives.
If you have been around guns for a while, you will find most of the middle of this book rudimentary. I give it three stars for being average and leaning a bit toward silly in some regards. However, if you bought your first gun today, it would a good companion to keep you from buying two better books: Ayoob's "In the Gravest Extreem" and Spaulding's "Handgun Combatives" among others.
