The Gun Guide for People who Know Nothing About Firearms
The problem with talking about firearms is that people tend to be either gun nuts or they’re totally ignorant and/or scared to death of firearms. If you're a novice and try to find answers online you're soon flooded with divergent opinions, conflicting advice, and sometimes ridicule for asking such “stupid” questions.
Finding answers in person, in a gun store, surrounded by firearm devotees, is even more intimidating! Who, in their right mind wants to embarrass themselves in a room full of complete strangers!
The print version of this book is titled The Gun Guide for Those Who Know Nothing About Firearms. It's also available at Amazon Books.
This book takes those who are new to the world of firearms and explains the basics of how firearms work, the strengths and weaknesses of every major type of firearm you're likely to encounter, and in the final section, shows you how to evaluate firearm and ammunition choices. When you're finished reading this book you’ll be equipped to make an informed purchase that takes into account your budget and your needs.

Good read
I liked this book it will get you studying and provides resources to do just that. It's a good book for the price. The information in the book is more valuable than what you'll pay.

Overall a good resource and interesting read...at least if you are interested in guns and are just starting out.
Well written, easy to read. A good guide for beginners with lots of good information. The one "problem" to keep in mind is the author is American so the book is naturally focused on laws in the US. Canadian readers should keep in mind that firearms in Canada are federally regulated. Much of the basic material covered by Mr. Gregersen is covered in the Canadian Firearms Safety Course, but his insights regarding the different factors that affect the performance of firearms as well as what to keep in mind when purchasing a firearm are invaluable. Definitely worth the read.

A wealth of information for any beginner. There are some organizational inconsistencies and assumptions of knowledge concerning firearms, however, it's nothing that can't be puzzled together for a clear understanding of the many topics the author provides. A good read.
