Handguns and Self-Defense

Life Without Fear is one of the most informative guides ever written on the subject of self defense and the handgun. It is designed to provide the reader with the knowledge and skills necessary to survive a lethal confrontation. It is written in such a way as to appeal not only to the novice but, also, to the more experienced gun owner, with a special chapter specifically written for the many women who are now turning to the handgun as a means for self defense.

Specifically, in addition to step by step instructions on the fundamentals of fast accurate shooting. This book covers law and self defense, recommendations of tested handguns and equipment, mental conditioning, all aspects of pre-planning and home security, as well as thoroughly researched and proven tactics that the average person can use in a self defense situation.

The tactics in this book are not based entirely on police and military tactics, but have been tailored for personal self defense. Unlike most books, which do little more than tell you how to shoot, we have dealt with sensitive areas such as the aftermath of self defense shooting and haw to choose a self defense handgun.

There are over one hundred detailed photographs by Ichiro Nagata, Editor and Photographer for Combat Magazine, whose exceptional photography has appeared in numerous national magazines.

This book is for everyone who believes in their right to survive a lethal confrontation. The authors are proud to share their experience and skills with anyone who wants professional instruction in the area of self defense.
