Really enjoy reading Massad Ayoob's books. I find them very informative and fun to read as they easily go page to page and chapter to chapter, just a great writing style.

Ayoob Readers, Gun Fans, Wary Newbies & Know-It-Alls can find helpful aspects of gun safety, handling and use. This is not a "my way or the highway" book, but a thoughtful presentation of finding what will work best for you. Some of the noteable chapters cover: Ladies Choose A Weapon, Why Carry A Gun, Concealing A Big Handgun, Competition Shooting & so much more.

Useful Information

The book is worth the read. It has been updated, but technology marches on so it is a bit dated. That being said, there's a lot of good information and the author gives the reader many real world examples of what one could expect when carrying concealed.

This book is the ultimate reference guide for concealed carry. No matter what side of the fence you're on, this topic is becoming increasingly more popular, so it's good to get critical information on the subject.

I'm on about page 30. It appears to have some information.

Doesn't seem as complete as the "Concealed Handgun Manual" by Chris Bird, in my opinion. But the author himself admits this several times - that there was not sufficient room to cover all the aspects of this subject in a book this size. The Author refers to several other books he has written on these 'other related subjects'.

Overall, it seems like a very good reference on the rationale to carry, methods of carry, and draws upon the I'm on about page 30. It appears to have some information.

great book for anyone considering carrying a concealed firearm for personal safety. Gives an overview of all aspects of concealed carry from gun choice, to correct drawing methods and even to the best clothes to wear. I can't imagine anyone more knowledgable on the subject than the author. He also gives reverences to other materials if you are interested in going more in-depth on specific subjects of concealed carry.

I purchased this book in paperback, but it was so large, it was unwieldy to read. Now I'm reading it on Kindle. Did I mention it's large? Despite it's massive fwappiness in 3-D format, it's full of a ton of great information; I'm surely going to be going back to the print copy with a pen and highlighter.

This book was recommended to me by a friend when I started looking into self-protection. I have basically no knowledge of weapons, so the book is over my head in most areas. It is well written with explanations in plain language and pictures. I will continue to read the book with an eye to re-reading when I have more experience in actual ownership and use of a weapon.

Probably one of the best resources for concealed carry information. Lots of very practical stuff here, from legal to clothing to how to give hugs or buckle your seat belt.
