4.0 out of 5 stars Good Honest resource book..., August 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Boston on Guns & Courage: Proven Tools for Chronic Problems (Paperback)

I like this book because of it's no compromise content regarding the 2nd ammendment. The content is straight forward and offers solid insight. It is thought provoking in that it challenges you to make the choice NOW as to whether you are going to give up your weapons easily when the blackboots knock, or whether you will shoot them through the door. The author is correct. If you are going to own firearms - you better know how to use them AND have the courage to use them if the time comes.

I gave the book 4 stars, however, because when discussing the actual weapons, the author is quite biased and doesn't discuss or consider any of the weapons he doesn't like. His advice is good but weapons are a personal choice. YOU have to be comfortable with what you are shooting. NOT Boston T Party.

Overall a good book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Choosing the weapon, training the user, January 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Boston on Guns & Courage: Proven Tools for Chronic Problems (Paperback)

Boston's on Guns and courage is well written. Many quotations from John Ross' book Unintended Consequences, as well as from patriots going back to the revolution of 1776, frame a nice discussion of the authors thesis, namely that the second amendment is the final guardian of the rest of the constitution. I myself think that constitutional rights are like muscles. They get flabby and weak if not used.

Boston also explains something about current gun laws, which is a confusing and fast moning topic, and a moving target hard to hit.

I thought the chapter on woman and guns to be of particular potential interest to the woman's lib types who don't agree with the usual anti gun agenda.

Overall , there is more on hardwear than on philosophy or tactics, which is perhaps as it should be. Buy 'em. Then have someone teach you to use 'em.

A really nice review of available hardware, some of the prices a little out of date and low. Mr. Boston likes the .308 and the FAL, admits his bias, gives his rationale. I can live with this.

Personally, I think the .308 is fine, and if loooking for a weapon with some long range accuracy potential, I'd prefer the M1A(M14)-bettter sights, I like the traditional stock better, less need for meticulous cleaning, and face it-put a small mag in, and w a walnut stock and blued finish, looks more politically correct.Easy to scope too, which this weapon cries out for.

That not withstanding, the FAL is just fine, and his info on the AR-15 pattern weapons out there is just fine. Next edition should cover red dot type sights.

Overall-good book, to recommend to those who have decided to own firearms and what to learn before they buy. The author puts in his predjudices, but admits them up front. If nothing else, you will probably go out and buy Unintended Consequences.

This review is from: Boston on Guns & Courage: Proven Tools for Chronic Problems (Paperback)

Salute once again Boston! I am recommending Guns and Courage to every gun owner I know! The large assortment of specific firearm information with Boston's personal experience and recommendations are insightful, to say the least. But the real meat of this book is the no-appologies, In-Their-Face truth about the realities of what gun control really represents. Layed out in an undeniable sequencial order that leaves no doubt in the readers mind of what the past, current, and future trends for gun control will mean for once free Americans bacted up with wit, humor, honesty and obvious passion from an articulate perspective. Boston on the front-lines of truth warfare! Outstanding!
