Mandatory reading for anyone who carries concealed weapons, or is considering doing so, or is interested in firearms and firearms law as it pertains to personal defense. Again a book I’m fond of because I’m friends with several of the co-authors, and one of them is one of my roster of lawyers.

A helpful book for helping you think through defending yourself against violence. There is much more to it than getting trained to carry a gun. I felt like it was a good place to begin and has given me a considerable amount of information to process and use.

There is so much wisdom and good information, as well as pointers to other references that make this an absolute must-read for self-defenders.
