This book was an excellent read. It look at many aspects of self defense. While the a few specific instances do seem a little dated, it can easily be translated to a modern era example.

I think Massad Ayoob is one of the best gun writers there is. All his books have great information.
Contemplating the use of a firearm in self-defense? Read this! July 19, 2008

I have not read this book by Mr. Ayoob in many years but its points remain with me. Mr. Ayoob is one of the very few 'gun writers' that doesn't glamorize (i.e., write to sell) firearms and the use of firearms in self defense. He has defended the use of deadly force utilizing firearms in the courtroom. He knows the law and the legal consequences of using deadly force. Being a cop he also knows something of the potential tragedy incurred with the use of a firearm in the application of deadly force. It should be mandatory that this book be owned and and periodically re-read by all who have contemplated the use of deadly force in self-defense with a firearm. This book is highly recommended.
 Good info, a little dated May 21, 2008
Mas's work is spoken of as legendary in the self protection world, especially when it comes to legal issues. I learned a couple of new things about what to think about when carrying a firearm - necessary stuff, as I am awaiting a carry permit now. The defensive tactics and weapons choices are outdated, as this book is more than 20 years old. It is a quick, easy read, and probably worth at least a browse to anyone who is considering a carry weapon.
