Now more than ever, Americans are aware of threats to their personal safety and are searching for ways to protect themselves and their loved ones. Newly updated since the events of September 11 with important information on mail contamination and travel security, The Complete Guide to Personal and Home Safety is the most comprehensive guide on personal and home security available. Captain Snow, a seasoned police officer, guides readers in developing their own safety plans--from how to choose a home alarm system to what to do in the case of a missing person.

This review is from: The Complete Guide To Personal And Home Safety: What You Need To Know (Paperback)
I'm really glad I bought this book, and will be buying a few more copies to give as gifts to my friends. The book is easy to read, cover-to-cover, and provides tons of credible statistics to support the advice.

1.0 out of 5 stars Can I get my $3 back?, March 8, 2011
This review is from: The Complete Guide To Personal And Home Safety: What You Need To Know (Paperback)
I thought I would enjoy this book, having read many similar ones on the same topic. However, once I stumbled upon the words " I don't recommend civilians carrying firearms", I sat it down and will throw it in the trash as soon as I have the time. Yet another elitist LEO who thinks his life is more valuable than a civilians. Snow goes on to state that there are many deaths and shootouts from regular civilians carrying firearms. Hmmm.....any proof or even just a real case of that?

No wonder this book had a huge "withdrawn" stamp on the inside of it
