Concealed Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals [Print Replica] Kindle Edition

I would recommend this for the newer shooter or the person that has owned a gun but never really did much with it and the person who believes that they will defend themselves if the need ever arose. It covers a wide range of areas from how to secure your home. It also has some good practice drills to get you started and a few for the more advanced shooters. It was an easy read, I had no problem getting through it all in a short period, while just reading at night. If I had one complaint, I felt that when it discussed the aftermath of a defending yourself and some of the legal issues that could arise, it only recommended one company and did not compare and contrast some of the others out there. That said, they recommend the USCCA which I was already a member of but it would have been nice to see some of the others and how they stack up.Now what this book actually does cover and how they did.They start off with the basics of the course and go into the different types of handguns, shotguns, and rifles. They cover, grip, safety, stance, building muscle memory, ammunition size-caliber, the importance of training, along with all the different techniques of each. The author does a great job of including the factual data and how it came to be used today, along with laws and outcomes. He then works you into the mindset, what happens during and after an altercation, and how you can prepare yourself mentally, plus the risk. After which he leads you into the legal aspects, how a prosecutor may look at something, and how the laws do and don't apply depending on what actions you have taken. He explains how to handle your interaction with the police and how you can protect yourself in the process. Then he takes you into how you can secure your home better and finally drills you can practice daily to and those you can practice at the range to improve your chances if the need ever arises.There is so much more I am sure I missed some. I enjoyed the added stories with his examples and the history of how it was done and why it has changed. He explains everything in good detail so you have a broad understanding of everything covered. He even adds in some humor along the way. As a newer shooter, I learned a great deal from this book, and I enjoyed reading it. He teaches a lot while keeping you interested. This is one of the books you are going to go back and look for things even after you finished it, or like I did write a lot down while you are reading. If you are looking for training in self-defense, thinking about buying a gun, or would just like a better understanding of the dangers, and how people are actually being trained this book is definitely for you. It is my firm belief this will help you understand things before any self-defense course plus give you tools and knowledge that every homeowner should have. Without a lot of this information, you could find yourself behind bars, if you ever have to defend yourself.

Good book. Easy reading with great photos makes this book practical. Not overwhelming but discusses a wide range of important concepts from technical aspects of weapon use and maintenance to physiological and psychological responses under stress. Helpful complement to the classroom instruction. Important to study this information if you decide to take on the huge responsibility this book discusses. Be safe. Be smart. Always take a way out first.

Good book, terrible Kindle version! You've decided to save some money by not scanning the pages with OCR, but rather scanned them as pictures, which can only be legible on a large monitor, but not on Kindle or a tablet, to say nothing of a phone! Of course, you could do the right thing and correct this version and give a new reformatted version to us for free... Oh, whom am I kidding?

This was recommended by the folks teaching my CCW class, and the hardback is like $35. This is a kindle, and updated recently. The description is a bit confusing, since it almost reads like it's just a scan of the hardback version with nothing but a simple picture of each page. That's not the case, you can search for text and such in this version.

My older brother tried to teach me how to shoot when I was 17. The Air Force tried again when I was in my 20s. It didn't take. Now, a senior citizen, I am so concerned about the political situation that I am motivated to learn whatever I can. I know now that learning to shoot goes way beyond firing bullets at a target. This is a fantastic book for someone like me.

The content is great. This book provides solid information for conceal carrying including proper use of force, conceal carry laws, proper shooting techniques, drills and more.My only complaint is it appears that each page is an image on the Kindle editions and not type that can be resized. Depending on where I touch the display the page can advance forward or go back a page. Very annoying. Otherwise I would rate 5 stars.

Received this book yesterday... skimmed through it and it looks like it’s easy to read and full of useful information. This seller got it packed and shipped quickly, and it arrived just fine... and is almost like new.

Anyone who has a firearm should read this book and review its contents from time to time, regardless of one's proficiency and experience. It's that good and that necessary. Didn't like all of the plugs for USCCA, but then they are tied with the NRA for the most obnoxious marketing.
