Since more than 26 states have passed laws requiring training for concealed carrying of firearms, citizens and police have a duty to teach the safe and responsible use of the weapons.In eight other states that permit concealed carry with no training required, men and women have a moral obligation to learn how to carry and use their firearms safely and responsibly.This handy little book contains everything a novice gun owner needs to know to start learning the basics of competent and safe pistol use, as well as the essentials of using a gun in a potentially violent confrontation with a criminal.It is an ideal textbook for state courses required for concealed carry permits.While there are many excellent books on handguns, marksmanship and self defense, all are designed for those who want to be expert in those subjects. There are no other books which address the specific concerns of someone who simply wants to carry a concealed firearm safely and responsibly until now.Bill Clede serves on the Connecticut State Police Firearms Advisory Committee which determines what training in his state will and will not include.
