Title: Out of date, little useful information
Review: When this book was written 30 years ago, it might have served as a useful introduction to armed self-defense for the civilian. A lot has happened since then, and it goes without saying that laws regarding the use of deadly physical force, even in self-defense, can vary a lot from state to state. Ayoob is undoubtedly an expert in the field and I've always like his writing. However if this is something you're serious about, reading this book is not going to help you out that much, let alone complete your training. Familiarize yourself with your state's laws, then take a class through your local Sheriff's office.
