2.0 out of 5 stars Decades of law enforcement service shows, November 19, 2008

By	R. Yang - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As mentioned in the preface, Bill Murphy is a accomplished law enforcement veteran with many decades of service. This clearly shows but in the wrong way--the text is a litany of report writing mistakes including awkward grammer and typographical errors. Lest you think I'm nitpicking, multiple examples of each abound on almost every page. This book really needs a ghost writer or good editor. The book does contain some good information, but it also glosses over important areas as well. One important example of that is the "After action" section. What you should do after deploying a handgun really deserves a chapter of its own instead of the half page given here.

I wish I could be more positive about this book. It contains some useful information but the entire effort is so sloppy I only give it two stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Concealed Carry Survival Guide, December 25, 2008

By	Terry Pittman (Costa Mesa CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great guide, I personally know Bill Murphy and have had more than a dozen of his classes over the years. This book is not a subsitute for having proper training, But more of a refresher course for those that have had proper training to help refresh and hone in their skills. Plus updating their training with new techniques. Bill Murphy would be the first to say that. This is a great book and I enjoyed it very much. For those that know Bill. "Wonder, where in the heck did he find the time to write a book ?"

Not as useful as I had hoped, but a nice general guide.
