Synopsis

Thirty-one states have laws allowing most law-abiding adults to carry concealed handguns, more than 2 million are licensed to do so, and guns are used about 2.5 million times a year to defend against criminal attack. Here is advice on when carrying a concealed handgun is appropriate, how to avoid violent confrontations, the mental preparation needed to survive an armed encounter, and the legal consequences of a self-defense shooting. Actual incidents are described and analyzed, and the concealed handgun laws of the 31 states that allow them are summarized.

"Outstanding . . . a really good book for someone who is not sure if they want to carry. It definitely fills a need." —Jerry Patterson, former state senator of Texas, sponsor of the Texas Concealed Carry Law

"Bird teaches through illustrative stories of self-defense and survival experienced by moms, laboratory workers, electricians, and other everyday people who learned, sometimes the hard way, the value of the self-defense handgun." —Gila Hayes, Women & Guns magazine
