One of our members, Stephen P. Wenger has recently published a book, titled Defensive Use of Firearms. The book addresses the reality and practicality of using a firearm for self-defense.
One aspect of that reality is that the software takes higher precedence than the hardware. Hardware is discussed but it is discussed in terms of practicality on the street or in the home, not on the shooting range. The five core chapters on mental awareness, mental preparedness, tactics, skills and choice of equipment are preceded by a chapter on safety with firearms and followed by a chapter on legal issues. A glossary is included, for the reader who may be new to the world of firearms. The foreword was graciously provided by Bert DuVernay, former director of the Smith & Wesson Academy.
The book is intended for the gun owner who has realized that mere ownership of a firearm does not convey protection. It will be of particular interest to those who are engaged in or are contemplating legal concealed carry of a handgun. While primarily oriented toward the handgun, the book contains some material about the defensive use of long guns, further expanding its relevance to home defense. The chapters on tactics and skills include numerous line drawings to aid the reader's grasp of the concepts described.
The book offers the reader a set of principles, tactics and techniques distilled from hundreds of hours of the author’s training, which includes certification as a law-enforcement handgun, shotgun, patrol rifle and tactical shooting instructor.
5 1/2 x 8 1/2-inch softcover, 120 pages, 28 illustrations and photos
At this time the book is only available from the author (autographed copies) or directly from Paladin Press. It will be several more months before Paladin will release the book to mass dealers, such as Amazon.com.
