This book is written for those who have taken or may take the ultimate responsibility of the protection of themselves and the ones they love. It is the most comprehensive guide to using firearms for self-defense.
No Editor? Mediocre Content.Reviewed by VisualSmith, 2010-03-04
After watching a few of the author's videos, it was obvious he knows what he is talking about. Unfortunately, the book is filled with simple grammatical errors, repeated sentences and out of order pages! Even if you overlook the printing issues, you won't find much content. The majority of the information is common sense. It hardly lives up to being a comprehensive guide. It's like they published the first draft of a basic safety lecture. The chapters might pass as blog posts but I expect a higher standard when you print a book. I am considering returning it. Hopefully, the author will write a decent second edition in the future.
great bookReviewed by Alan Smits, 2009-11-16
Great book on the order of combat handgunnery almost a dead copy of Massad ayoob combat handgunnery even a forward by Ayoob its ok it reads like all the rest of these type of books do, can you shoot someone, then on to well you are gonna be arrested if you do even if you are in the right, then a few brief words about outdated handguns and ammo. Almost a ringer for Massad ayoobs combat handgunnery try col jeff cooper and wiley clapp
Book: Armed ResponseReviewed by Robert S. Maroldy, 2009-10-05
A good book for Self-Defense folks. I was hoping for something new but it pretty much reiterated what we already know (preaching to the choir). Not a bad evening read.
An Amazon accidentReviewed by Benjamin Espen, 2009-06-29
I ended up with the book by an Amazon accident. I had ordered the
Ayoob files, a collection of columns written by Massad Ayoob, a
frequent expert witness in self-defense cases. Ayoob contributed an
introduction to this volume, which is possibly the reason I ended
up with this book. I received this book several years ago, and I
decided to just keep it. I did not actually read it until 2009, and
I found the book very good. I should have read it earlier.
Armed Response is a sober, practical book that has lots of good
things to think about for anyone who owns firearms. Lots of details
about the workings of the law, how to properly use a firearm, and
helpful suggestions. I wish I had read this book when I was
actually a beginner, because the author explains a lot of common
terms used by firearm owners that were mystifying to me once. I
spent a number of years tracking down answers to questions that are
contained in this book. That reinforces the answers I found, and
makes me willing to recommend this book, because it matches my own
experience and knowledge.
You can find information about different kinds of firearms, their
pros and cons. Different holsters, different ammunition, different
stances. There are even suggestions for training. One would do well
to heed the many warnings contained in this book. This book is
intended to help keep you out of trouble of any kind. The best way
to win a gunfight is not to be in one.
Lots of good references, the websites and addresses of quality
accesories manufacturers, and lots and lots of experience can be
found in this book. Highly recommended. Just remember, IANAL.

Another essential safety tool.Reviewed by fred, 2009-05-27
After reading this excellent book, I want to suggest that you obtain the Personal Firearm Defense series with (ex-mil/PD) Rob Pincus, one of the most exhaustively thorough multiple dvd series ever made on the subject of armed self defense, available through NRA CS video. And finally, when you think state and federal government is responsible in any way for your safety, I ask that you observe that the state of California is releasing 30,000 criminals from prison after the voters refused to give more tax $$ to this bankrupt DNC run state.
