Two great choices have been presented, those specific ones by Lott, Ayoob. If you're trying to convince a person of the threat, pros and cons of carrying a firearm in self-defense, then In The Gravest Extreme is hard to beat, but I think that's more for someone already convinced of the need to carry who simply needs a primer on the realities of the responsibility. For someone needing convincing about the reality of the world we live in, IMO Lott's book is one of the most effective out there. Open mind, read once, ponder the truth, repeat ... for as long as it takes for the truth to sink in. If that still doesn't work, check out Grossman's works.
