 Good Overview for Novice to Expert August 13, 2006
56 out of 57 found this review helpful
David Kenick does a great job of covering most of the major issues you must consider if you are going to carry a firearm for self defense.
He starts off by discussing the misconceptions people have regarding police protection, the Body Alarm Reaction, the fact that action always beats reaction and empty hands defensive skills. He then covers the basics of gun handling - safety, trigger systems, jams and malfunctions, concealed carry, drawing from a holster, etc... The final parts of the book cover competitions, consequences of a shooting, other safety tools and gun control.
Some unique items in this book you will not find in others...what to do after the bad guy drops his weapon and surrenders? The reality that empty hands skills are necessary regardless of what you carry and a realistic discussion on stopping power and ammunition selection.
Overall, this is a very good book written by a responsible citizen. His lack of affiliation with law enforcement and the military, unlike many self defense authors, makes the book easier to read and understand.

good information and primer on the subject of firearms in self-defense. I just wish there was MORE information, I mean expanded on what is already there. I appreciate the author's tone and method of explaining himself to the reader, very clearly and not with superiority, but as a teacher and friend. Some typos in the text, but that just keeps it real for me. Read it, and bought it as a gift. Highly recommended!

This book is an excellent guide to using firearms in self-defence. It helps you to choose a proper weapon for you, be it for concealed carry or house protection, a holster and spare ammunition. I learned about gun trigger systems, types of sights, manual safeties, methods of concealed carry and house storage. The good thing about this publication is that it helps to choose between a revolver or semi-automatic pistol. Finally, the book touches the legal side of concealed carry issue. I would recommend it to both amateurs and professionals.
great book! February 28, 2006

This is a book that should be a part of the library of any gun owner (or possible gun owner). It is full of info that should be reviewed on a regular basis, and great advice for addition sources of info that should be considered necessary knowledge. I highly recommend this book to any one considering owning and carrying a gun for personal protection. FYI - The author is David Kenik, with a foreword by Massad Ayoob.
