I was going to give a friend who is considering carrying a handgun my copy of "In the Gravest Extreme Role of the Firearm in Personal Protection" by Massad Ayoob, and last night I decided to read it once more since it had been a while and is a very quick read. I realized reading this time, years later than when I was first introduced to the book, that many of the laws Ayoob references have either been changed, overturned, or much more strictly enforced than when the book was written some 27 years ago, not to mention how much the political climate has changed since then.
Is there a book that is more relevant to todays laws, political climate and outlook on civillians and guns for personal protection? I love the book, but upon re-reading it, I think that it may no longer be as good a choice as it once was for those new to carrying a weapon.
Any ideas?
