This is the
most important book
ever written for
anyone who might
be forced to defend
him or herself.

If you violate a firearm possession law, you might be charged with a low-level felony. But, if you kill or injure someone WITHOUT LEGAL JUSTIFICATION, you could lose everything or end up doing life in prison like the hapless neighborhood watchman whose plight is described in shocking detail in Chapter 2. Don't let this happen to you!
