There are often reasons why you need to somewhere and taking
a gun is reasonable. But if all you want to do is proclaim
your "manliness" stay home. Many DAs will look up your
blog, public statements and take you to court because you
were "looking for trouble" and that will cost you $5-10,000
if the jury finds you innocent.

That's assuming that I'm stupid enough to stay around afterwards... Or
there's not a creek nearby with a friendly gator...

The 51% rule applies in Kansas too.

BTW, have you read Massod Ayoob's book IN THE GRAVEST
EXTREME ?

Nope... Seems like these days, all I get to read are some sort of
technical manuals or publications... Recreational reading for me of
late is reading the manual on a new GPS...

It is worth reading for anyone who has or is thinking about
buy or using a gun for self-defense [Massad Ayoob's book IN
THE GRAVEST EXTREME ].

All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. Take time to
read Dilbert daily.

I can't even pronounce his name... :-)

I've never met him. I've read a few articles he's written in the gun
mags, but he doesn't write for the two (American Rifleman and Shooting
Times) which I get by subscription. I occasionally pick up one of those
he writes for on the newstand when traveling.


Matt

Get the book, it isn't expensive and is very well written.
He has a column in the American Handgunner that is always
thought provoking.

I have a friend who took his LFI classes years ago.

Is it good? I did read Bill Jordan's book "No Second Place Winner."
Excellent read if you are so inclined.

Matt

I meet Jordan a couple of times. Ayoob's book is far more
useful, it is a must read, covers training, mind set, what
to do if attacked and what to do afterward.
