Containing information on current state regulations, beginning and advanced shooting instruction, updated safety information, and accounts of incidents of concealed handgun self-defense, this comprehensive handbook intends to prevent gun owners from becoming the victims of a criminal or terrorist attack. The book offers advice for selecting and buying a handgun, discussions of the importance of self-protection, methods for concealing weapons, and an examination of the mental attitude required in case of an armed encounter, as well as advice on how to avoid violent encounters entirely. In addition to providing a current list of handguns suitable for concealed carry, this updated edition includes new information about the psychological ramifications of using deadly force against another human being and provides information and context from recent events, such as the mass shootings at Virginia Tech and in Tucson, Arizona.
This is a very comprehensive manual which illustrates the need to allow concealed weapons permits in every facet of daily life and in every state. Examples of true life incidents prove that schools and businesses need to allow students and workers to carry concealed weapons given the potential for unexpected violence perpetrated by unbalanced individuals.

Every book has what I call the "propaganda section" - where the author explains why the subject matter is important. Fully one third of this book is "propaganda section". Still, some of the anecdotes in the first part of the book are referred back to later on.
I did find the material useful, as to what you can expect as a concealed carry licensee, especially the very rich list of references. The warnings that using a handgun will likely carry consequences, and tips on what a CHL class/examination will entail were very helpful.
As the author lives and carries in Texas, I felt the material was accurate for my location (I also live in Texas), but the author goes to great pains to make the material useful for people in other states.

Written by a professionl writer, so it's easy to read. The author also has extensive shooting and concealed-carry experience. It all adds up to the best book on the subject that I've read so far. www.30-06.org.
