National Rifle Association of America

Excellent primer on your right to protect yourself. The book contains several safety items that everyone who handles a gun should know. Additionally, it contains techniques, strategies and principles for your defense. Finally, the laws are illuminated nicely. I thought that the techniques were very detailed with lots of pictures displaying the right way to accomplish a task. Not a page-turner, but a good book for a new gun owner or for review by an established one.

Outstanding collection of thoughts on DVD regarding the U.S.Bill Of Rights
