Product Description
Intended to provide instruction on using handguns to prevent gun owners from becoming the victims of a criminal or terrorist attack, this comprehensive handbook contains information on current state regulations, beginning and advanced shooting instruction, updated safety information, and accounts of incidents of concealed handgun self-defense. Advice for selecting and buying a handgun, discussions of the importance of self-protection, and methods of concealing weapons accompany a discussion of the mental attitude required in case of an armed encounter, and advice on how to avoid violent encounters entirely. Including the new concealed carry laws recently passed in Kansas and Nebraska, this updated edition provides a new context for the need to safely carry a weapon since the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the breakdown of adequate law enforcement that ensued. In addition to providing an updated list of handguns suitable for concealed carry, this practical guide also includes more information about the psychological ramifications of using deadly force against another human being.

 This Book Should Be Required Reading For All CCW Permit Holders, and Everyone Else Too! November 11, 2008
I really don't have that much more to offer from those reviewers who have already reviewed this book, although I would like to say that this book is so well done that it should be required reading for any and all individuals, regardless of where they live, who are applying for a CCW (concealed carry weapons) permit. The information in this book is first rate and, for the most part, right on the money.
On an entirely personal note, people must realize that guns, in and of themselves, do not take lives, nor do they save them. That is the sole responsibility of the individual utilizing a gun at the time. Remember, a gun is nothing more than a tool that only sits there doing absolutely nothing, until it is interacted with by a human being. GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE!

Excellent Primer on Self-Defense Protection for the Citizen Soldier! October 8, 2008
This excellent manual gives precise details to American citizens in exercising their 2nd Amendment Civil Rights during a criminal or even terrorist attack. This book is comprehensive and includes information on:
*Regulations
*Shooting Instructions - Beginner to Advanced
*Case Studies about concealed carry action
*Safety Regulations and methods
This book is like a mini-course in and of itself. You can learn about selecting a handgun, the duty of self-defense and also methods of concealing a weapon. In addition, as I teach martial arts, I tell people that the most important weapon is Your Mind. Don't get involved in any dangerous encounters if you can avoid them. Ultimately, the taking of a human life - for people with a conscience - is a life-altering and difficult experience. It can be traumatic because it is a situation that few wish to experience - unless it involves saving your life and your loved ones from criminals.

Chris Bard Rocks! October 3, 2008
Another great book by Chris Bard. Remembering that he is from the U.K. and that he moved here many years ago should strike a cord in your thoughts about him and his books. His perspective on guns, gun control, gun rights, concealed carry etc. are open and absolute. He comes from a country where what we take for granted has long been removed from personal rights and where if you defend yourself you end up in prison with longer prison terms than the person(s) who attacked you. This book covers just about every aspect of concealed carry as well as what to do after you have to defend yourself. I couldn't put it down! Highly recommended for all those who believe in the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights we "cling to". Not for those who want Obama to lead them into total control and socialism.
Strongly Recommend September 7, 2008
I just received this book yesterday and have already read most of it. A very interesting and informative book that is hard to put down. As previous reviewers have written, this is a "must read" for anyone considering a handgun for personal defense. The book I ordered and received is fifth edition, published in 2008, so updated conceal/carry laws for each state are included.
I enjoyed reading this book so much, I have ordered the author's other book, "Thank God I had a Gun."
The Gun Manual August 14, 2008
This book is a must read for all gun owners especially if you are thinking about getting a CCW license. This is also a good book to send to people that are anti-gun. After reading this book the anti-gun people might change their minds about guns. I sent this book to my sister who hates guns.
