The Concealed Handgun Manual:
How to Choose, Carry, and Shoot a Gun in Self Defense.

The new Fifth Edition of The Concealed Handgun Manual contains more than 500 pages and is packed with advice and information for anyone who carries a concealed handgun for protection or is thinking of doing so. It includes many actual incidents of ordinary citizens using handguns to defend themselves against criminal threat or attack.

The first chapter compares the shooting at Virginia Tech with other school shootings that were successfully stopped by armed or unarmed teachers or students. The second chapter includes the illegal gun confiscations from law-abiding citizens in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Other subjects that are being addressed for the first time in The Concealed Handgun Manual include laser sights for handguns and insurance for concealed-carry license holders. The reciprocity information in the last chapter has been completely revised and updated.

Thank God I Had a Gun:
True Accounts of Self-Defense.

One of the best-kept secrets in the United States is how often and how effectively ordinary citizens defend themselves with firearms against criminal attack or criminal threat. Criminologists estimate that each year about 2.5 million ordinary people in the U.S. use firearms in confrontations with criminals. In the vast majority of cases, not a shot is fired, and frequently the incidents are not reported to the police.

“The bias of the mainstream media against portraying guns in a positive light results in these incidents remaining below the public’s radar,” said author Chris Bird. Thank God I Had a Gun: True Accounts of Self-Defense lifts the veil surrounding the defensive uses of guns by recounting in detail fourteen of these incidents. The Foreword was written by Suzanna Gratia Hupp, former Texas State Representative, District 54.
