became a policeman in 1972.
In his career, he has become recognized
internationally as one of the world's leading
authorities on police weaponry, and regularly
serves as a consultant and courtroom expert on
firearms and shootings.
He has been the handgun editor of "Guns"
magazine, and is a regular contributor to several
other leading journals.
In this book, Ayoob advises the reader on the legal
implications of firearms use in self-defense, and the
whole subject of keeping, storing, carrying and
using firearms.
He talks about basic gunfighting techniques, the
calibers best suited for personal protection and how
to choose a weapon, "common sense" as it relates
to firearms use, and the deterrent effect of defense
handguns.
This is a very good book, and it comes highly
recommended by most knowledgeable shooters.
Now, if you are a beginner, about to buy your first
handgun, or a police cadet or a new correctional
officer in training, and are seeking a book which will
help you to pick out a firearm, or to safely use the
one you have, let me recommend a better one:
"George Tooley's Beginner's Book on How to
Handle Firearms Safely," also available on
Amazon.com.
This is a very good book. Buy it, too. But the late
George Tooley's book is even better, although less
well known. He had 45 years in corrections and
law-enforcement, most of it teaching firearms use.
