Book Description

2010
The right to defend our lives and the lives of our loved ones is one of the "inalienable" rights our Founding Father deemed most precious. Some states have protected that right while others have neglected it. Knowing where states draw the line between your rights and the rights of those who seek to harm you, your family or your property could be the most important knowledge of your lifetime. Stepping over the line could mean personal and financial disaster. Finally, a clear, concise book that provides quick and easy access to the statutes, cases and jury instructions that define the law of self-defense in each of the fifty states and Washington D.C. There is no longer any reason to rely on rumors or speculation. This book reveals harmful hidden legal traps and bust perilous misconceptions and myths. Cut through the thicket of legal mumbo-jumbo with the help of "Plain-talk" summaries written by a practicing attorney and skilled legal researchers. Every chapter contains interesting and entertaining true-life examples. Included is an easy-to-understand outline of critical self-defense issues for each state. Gain immediate knowledge of negative factors that increase the chances of arrest, prosecution and conviction. Discover and memorize the presumptions an lower legal thresholds that could give you a split-second tactical advantage during a violent attack. This book is not just for those who have concealed firearm permits, it's for anyone who may ever need to defend him or herself, loved ones or property.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have book for ALL of us!, July 4, 2010
This review is from: Self Defense Laws of All 50 States (With Plain-Talk Summaries Limited Edition Cover) (Paperback)
As a person with some formal training, I find myself more and more confused as to what I CAN and CAN'T do to defend myself in potentially bad situations. In fact, I think that if you feel like you already know enough about self-defense, then you don't even know enough to be aware of just how much you DON'T know.

This book is a great help in clearing out some of the most common misconceptions about what is and is not self-defense, as well as how each state handles things so differently.

Of course, no single thing will guarantee your safety... but with Mitch's book, I feel much more confident in my ability to make an informed, and quick decision if needed to protect me and my loved ones.

Keep yourself and your family safe AND stay out of trouble. This book will help with both.

The book is great because it shows you the actual legal code for each state and then gives you a simple, "plain-english" explanation of each part. Handy anecdotes and case stories are included to help clarify even further.

I was always taught that first step in overcoming trouble, is not to get into it in the first place!

So, get this book.

This review is from: Self Defense Laws of All 50 States (With Plain-Talk Summaries Limited Edition Cover) (Paperback)
Up to date, interisting. Very frank, doesn't pull any punches. Writers have a sense of humor, some areas area a little dry, but for the most part interesting and informitive. It also covers domestic violence, and real cases and the consiquences of ones actions. A little pricy for a paper back.

5.0 out of 5 stars Self Defense Laws 50 States, November 29, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book is a must read for all law enforcement, civilian firearms instructors and anyone who carries a gun for self defense.
Although the firearms and self defense laws of the 50 states are very dynamic and change often, this author provides a sound foundation and template for your analysis of each states' laws, which facilitates your understanding of the impact of the changes. It also focuses on the "new" role our courts play in interpreting states' laws and thereby have a huge impact on the perspective and outcome of self defense related cases.
