The Best Defense is a collection of fascinating human interest stories of people who successfully used firearms to defend themselves and others against violent assaults. From Ohio, Florida, and Virginia to Missouri, Texas, Mississippi, and Montana, here is a dramatic portrait of what is at stake in the fight against crime at the level it occurs: victim vs. perpetrator. Here is living proof--thankfully living--that citizens do not have to be helpless in the face of crime and that in many cases self-defense proves to be law-abiding citizens' only opportunity to save themselves and their loved ones.

From the Author
"The Best Defense: True Stories of Intended Victims Who Defended Themselves with a Firearm" is a dramatic portrait of what is at stake in the fight against crime at the level where it occurs: victim vs. perpetrator. Each year, hundreds of thousands of American citizens successfully use guns to defend themselves and others. Often lost in the numbers, however, is the dynamic of what happens when ordinary, law-abiding citizens are attacked. What thoughts and feelings go through their minds as the events unfold? How do they react when suddenly thrust into a life-or-death situation?The fourteen chapters include twenty documented true stories. Charley Reese wrote, "Some chapters read like a suspense story, and they put the reader in the shoes of people whose normal, peaceful lives suffered the sudden and horrifying shock of a criminal attack. You will see that neither the police nor the courts can offer much protection...Trust me, this book is an exciting read, and the stories are true. It'll make a believer in the Second Amendment out of any sensible person."While there are many books debating the pros and cons of gun control, the Second Amendment, and the legal aspects of gun ownership, few if any relate true stories of encounters between criminals and victims. In these accounts, the victims survived and lived to tell about it.
