Get a realistic and common sense approach to concealed carry and other personal protection topics with Firearms for Personal Protection by Joseph von Benedikt. Providing a practical, non-tactical perspective, this comprehensive guide covers essential concepts pertaining to personal-protection gun ownership and use, including concealed carry, good safety and handling practices, nightstand guns, shotguns, carbines, and much more. Stemming from several years of real-world gun carry and use in the Southwest United States, this book provides the knowledge you need with the experience to back it up.
While pseudo-tactical enthusiasm certainly has its place, Joseph von Benedikt presents and discusses a view supporting the idea that mastering the use of firearms for personal protection comes from time spent practicing and developing an unconscious competence. While compressed tactical training can help with learning proper handling techniques, long acquaintance and familiarity with a firearm are what truly provide for the mastery of using one for personal protection.
In Firearms for Personal Protection you’ll find:
- Solid, practical information on firearms, free of pseudo-tactical attitude
- Technical information on various models of suitable personal protection firearms
- How to: choosing the right gun, becoming proficient, methods of carry, and more
