I purchased this book recently and I recommend that anyone considering the purchase of a weapon for personal protection read this. Especially the fist 30 or so pages.

From one of the reviews:
One of the best chapters in this book is about the dreadful impact of using your gun for self defense. Paper targets cannot shoot back or lunge forward with a knife. Your assailant may, can, probably will.

The book cuts through much of the hype and just plain wrong information that issues from gun publications and, worse, from Hollywood.

I could not agree more.

The book covers a lot of missconceptions and lack of understanding.

My adorable wife gave this book to me for Christmas (Armed Response) and I just finished reading it. Great book. I've passed it on to my Nephew and when he's done - my brother...
