 You need this book! February 24, 2006

If you are reading this, and feel comfortable with the police being your only protection against personal harm, theft, robbery, rape, or murder, you're living in fools' paradise. The police do a fine job, and most I know are hardworking, underpaid, and truly dedicated to law enforcement. The problem is there's only so many of them to go around. For instance, if you're attacked at home (with no firearm and training), and it takes the police 10 minutes to get there, you and those you love will likely be dead or mortally wounded by the time an officer can arrive.
"Armed Response" is the training guide for the novice, as well as those well informed about firearms. Mr. Ayoob has written an easy to understand guide to take you from what firearm to consider for personal protection, to the legal ramifications of using a firearm for self defense. Don't let Mr. Ayoob's ethnic name fool you. He knows EVERYTHING about the American situation involving everyday dangerous situations, as well as being a firearms expert.
This book is the next best thing to having a personal firearms trainer. After purchasing a Glock 17 for my own protection, "Armed Response" was my next investment. It is well worth the money.
 some pretty good ovservations and tactics February 11, 2006

I enjoyed the book, but as with all books of this nature it does rehash some of the same principles that all of the books do.
Particurally it covers the standard safety and clearing sections that most other books include as well. Not that this is necessarily bad, as new readers will be happy to potentially pick up some new pointers, but again this material might not be of much benefit to people who are allready CCWing.
I did enjoy, and find particurally helpfull, Ayoob's discussion on the consequences of having to defend onself, as well as his analysis of the steps to take in this type of situation. He was helpful in determining how to conduct oneself immediately after the situation, and the effects of certain phrased sentences/statements.
Overall its a good starting choice if you are considering purchasing a book of this nature, but if you allready have multiple ones, you might want to flip through this book to determine if there is any additional beneficial information.
Some good sections of the book that I found helpful:
Responsible use of Force- This included classifications, situations, etc.
Discussion of Trigger systems- nothing really new here, but nice to have it included in one concise reference.
Properties of Survival- discusses the color system of alertness
Secret knowledge about guns for self defense can be yours December 29, 2005

For a gun owner or potential gun owner, there are so many necessary things to be learned. That there are so many things to know that it may, at times, just seem like noise. Here is a well written, clear and concise exciting new book that cuts through the static. One that comes in loud and clear.
What is owning a gun for self-defense really about? This book, among other things, is about understanding what responsible use of lethal force is about. It's also about the possible threats to your survival and constantly assessing their potential impact on your situation.
One of the best chapters in this book is about the dreadful impact of using your gun for self defense. Paper targets cannot shoot back or lunge forward with a knife. Your assailant may, can, probably will.
The book cuts through much of the hype and just plain wrong information that issues from gun publications and, worse, from Hollywood.
