Gun Shy - A Must Read
341070
I recommend Lori L. Lake to anyone who appreciates a quality storyteller.  Lori has the ability to draw a reader into her fictitious world, allowing the reader to feel what the characters are feeling - good or bad.  That to me is the sign of a good writer, and I believe that Lori wears the title of writer very well, as is evident with Gun Shy.
What starts as a routine disturbance call, turns into a life-changing event for the veteran cop responding to the call and to one of the victims involved.  So much so, that Jaylynn Savage wants to follow in the path to help others, as Officer Dez. Reilly did for her and her friend.
Fate has thrown these two women together, now can they overcome their own obstacles to go from partners to partners in the truest sense of the word?  This is not just another romance novel, but a trip into the lives of two big-city police officers and the events, challenges and fears they are faced with on and off duty.
Gun Shy had me enthralled right from beginning to end, and when the end was reached, I felted I had had a glimpse into the lives of some very special people and a better understanding of what a police officer might encounter while putting their life on the line for us all.
I am definitely looking forward to buying the sequel once it is released.

I love this book. I own almost every handgun book on the market, and I consider myself above the average handgun shooter, but if I have to give a book to a friend who is just starting his/her journey into the art and science of gun training... I would suggest this book. It is not just the information and the way are shared (I like simple), but also the inspiration that Chris can be to anybody. It is never to late to achieve your dreams.

I loved the book and bought a few more as gifts for my book club friends. It's a great way to broach the subject of guns and safety in discussion groups, as it pertains to families and the home environment. Marie White Small has a tremendous way of telling this story through multiple characters, weaving the pieces together from front to back.

I've been looking forward to reading this book since I heard about its imminent publication and it certainly made all that anticipation worthwhile!

If you like guns or if you are a rational person willing to look at what they really are, this is the book for you. Chris Kyle's expertise on guns and their use puts the stamp of authenticity on his discussion of various firearms' strong points and problems.

I especially love the way in which the author clarifies the moral context of firearms and their use. He describes guns in the hands of good people and bad people, people saving lives and people criminally taking them. This complicated reality is what makes this a contentious issue, though for me the bottom line is that 10 good people saving lives and 1 bad person abusing guns means that the focus must be on stopping that bad person without leaving 10 helpless, as they are in so many other countries in the world.

I never had the good fortune to meet Chris Kyle but based on comments about him and his writing, I know it would have been a great conversation. The way he describes Alvin York makes me think that Sgt. York had a lot in common with Chris and that Chris realized this: a spirited young man with lifelong experience with firearms and hardwired moral compass, obliged to go to war and using firearms to SAVE lives to defend fellow service members and the country he loves.

And thank you Taya Kyle for writing about Chris so that those of us who didn't get to meet him in life can understand him a little better!

This is perhaps one of the best written books on the subject of firearms and their related legislation. Ms. Miller has gone into extensive detail as to how draconian gun laws are only an impediment to those who wish to legally own firearms, and have no overall bearing on controlling crime. More so, this is a book on how our nation's capital has become a quagmire of bureaucratic incompetence at the expense of public safety.

I really like Mark's writing style.  I could sense the tension, the sweat, the smells and the sights and even the recoil of the guns. Time well spent!!  Thank you, Mark!

I received the book from the author for an honest review.

This is my second book from the author Samuel Hawley, and each time I enjoyed his books. Homeowner with a gun is different from Elephant Farstream. But, just as with that book he captivated me with the plot and I struggled to put the book down. I love his writing style. It is easy to read, fast paced that keeps you interest to the very end. The flow of the story is always good, you know where you are and can follow along without any problems; just enjoying the story as it develops. And you can connect with each character: sympathized or get angry with them, it all depends on your point of view.
Homeowner with a gun has a nice build up, with enough twists and mystery to keep you guessing. Even the end left you with a bit of wonder as if the author deliberately wanted you to think and consider the outcome. I liked the outcome. I think both characters received what they deserved.

The story was well planned and suspenseful: with gang members busy doubting each other, trying to be better than the next guy. Some of these characters were a real treat. :)
We learn more about I-Man, his life in prison and the hardships that left its mark on him. When he received some interesting news inside his life changed, one night during his own stupidity he spoke to the wrong person. This is where the story begins. When he tries to make it right, the Shaw family was drawn into it; very innocently.
Jeff Shaw was a man with a mission: To protect his house and family at all cost. When he realized that the police will not do much to protect him he took measures in his own hand. Especially when his children's lives were at stake. Systematically he searched the area for the culprits and at the end I thought he was in way to deep. He had so much power actually, I don't think he realized that at times but yet during all the experiences he had he kept focused on the one thing: to flush out the thugs and get behind the reason, why they targeted his house.
The book was written from Both I-Man and Jeff's point of view. It gave you a better understanding of the secrets they kept and the choices they made.
At the end it was a wonderful book and I can recommend it with the greatest pleasure. Thanks for the opportunity.

Excellent read! The author has knowledge of firearms and their limitations in a post apocalyptic world. He is also very good at bringing the characters to life and showing their humanity, wants, fears, and dreams. I highly recommend this book for anybody, it isn't your usual zombie book, I can promise that. I'm going to be getting him second book in a few minutes, since it was released before I finished this book.

Keep writing books, Paul. I want to know what happens to Jeremy, Steve, and Kera.

If you are serious about debating gun control, this one of the book that is a must have. Rather than spewing useless platitudes, this book will give you an insight of the frog in the boiling water that gun owner is facing today. I just wish there was a copy of this book in PDF and Kindle form.

The date was 2002 Dave Walters was a fast gun sharpshooter who competed in competions.  It took him several years to save $2,000.00 to have a special gun and holster made for him to use.  His wife wanted new furniture and was very upset, but she told him just show it to me.  Now when he went to his gun cabnet to show his prized piece to his wife, he was in awe!  He was astonished to find it missing from his locked case and no damage to the cabnet.  He thought that was impossible and unexplainable.  It scared him so bad that he thought it was a Omen, so he told no one because he knew no one would belive his story.  Why am I telling you This?  Well!  Read this story and it will all come to you.  As the story goes in the late 100's Jess was a young 14 yr old living on a ranch less than half a days ride from a small town with his Pa, Ma and 7 year old sister.  His Ma sent him into town to get some supplies.  On the way he was stopped by three riders.  The questions they asked made him weary of them and he decided to alert the Sheriff when he reached town.  When he returned home the carnage he walked into changed him from a little boy into a man with a vengeance.  His family had been slaughtered.  After his family was laid to rest he promised them at graveside to hunt down their killers, and get revenge by making them die slow.  The General Store owner and his wife told the Sherrif and Jess they would take him in. Jess refused and returned home to run the ranch.  He had be practicing quick draw with a wooden  with a gun his Pa carved.  One day
he found a strange gun and holster hanging in the barn he hadn't noticed before.  He strapped it on and began practicing with a real gun to become the fastest gun around.  The years passed he practiced daily he became highly  proficient.  When he turned 16 he was sure he was ready begin his quest.  He sold all farm equipment, etc, got money from the bank, packed his horse for the journey, mounted up, left the ranch and started his vendetta.  This Aurthor really put together a fine Western and made it interesting for those that like to read about the Old West.  He had a excellent story line, filled it with action, and violence while keeping the main character Jess Williams a very polite man with the Lawmen of each the town he entered and the citizens he encountered.  His demeanor made him many friends in each town and and he gained the respect from the Lawmen he came in touch with.  Due to the violence this is for the mature and not for the weak at heart.  I look forward to many more books by this Aurthor  (Robert J. Thomas). That is putting it mildly, for I think this would make a excellent movie and having read the book I sure would enjoy It.

This is an incredible book on self defense.  If you are going to carry a gun, you must read and understand this book.  Andrew Branca is THE most knowledgable person on this subject.  He will explain to you what you should know BEFORE you find yourself in a situation where you think you will need to use your firearm.  It is not an easy decision to make and one that most do not know what the repercussions could be.  It is not a pretty picture.  YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK!

I have been on a kick for the last several months.  I read books about guns, about ammo, and mostly, about tactics.  Reading all of Massad Ayoob's books was a great experience and I wish he had more.  Eventually, I had to explore other authors.  This is when I found Andy Stanford.  His style is great.  No bull; to the point writing makes this subject very enjoyable and easy to read.  He takes you through the basics, but also explores more in depth tactical information.  This is a must-read for anyone who is integrating into their life self protection for their family.

Excellent!  This is another superb book by Grant Cunningham.  It isn't really so much about revolvers as it is about using your body's natural reactions effectively in threatened situations.  It also is about training yourself in practice to make the best possible use of those reactions.  Anyone who plans for the possible use of force to protect self and loved ones should read and apply this outstanding book.

I strongly recommend that you read the book and then practice, practice, practice its teachings.

Excellent read. Love to see more women standing for the second amendment. I hate what she had to endure, but she was a supporter beforehand. I want to see more people carry and especially more women. I heard a woman say just the other night,"I don't want a gun don't need one, Ive got my guy."This woman is not anti gun she just doesnt feel that she needs one with her guy by her side. Read this book and live through Nikkis eyes and I hope it will change your mind.

EXCELLENT BOOK! As a first time gun owner, I found this book to be very educational. A must read if you want to carry a firearm.
