Women should read this book!, September 5, 2008
If you are a women, you need to read this book. If you are anti-gun, you need to read this book. If you do not know YOUR role as a citizen of America, you need to read this book. Mr. Longenecker reaches back into the era of our Founding Fathers, grabs the term 'Sovereign Citizen,' whips it back through time, places it squarely in front of our eyes and says 'This is who you are!' In the short span of 204 pages, he teaches us what our 'Fathers' knew and warned us about. He describes the theft of our authority to run our lives and how our 'abdication' has weakened our resistance to aggression and therefore has increased crime. I encourage all women to read this book to help you see the connection between freedom and the safety of your families and even your own body. Today, Freedom, is largely taught in the home. As women, that is largely our venue. It's in our homes that much of freedom's lessons are learned or not learned. 'Safe Streets' endeavors to point out the assaults on our authority as heads of households under the guise of some benefit 'for the children.' 'Safe Streets' clearly explains that The Second Amendment to our Constitution is NOT ABOUT GUNS! It is about freedom, and your authority to run your own lives, to manage your own household and keep your families safe. Who is the head of your household? You think it is you? Guess again. You're being replaced. 'Safe Streets' shows us how ever increasing government infringements on your sovereignty have and are this very minute stealing your freedom, authority, safety and wealth. And how to stop it.

Longenecker's Book Is Outstanding!, July 28, 2008
Safe Streets In The Nationwide Concealed Carry of Handguns by John Longenecker is one of the first publications from his new Libertarian and pro-gun publishing company, Contrast Media Press. His hard hitting articles can be read at his web site called Good for The Country and have been picked up by numerous media outlets and web sites. In fact, they are always insanely popular whenever they are posted on various pro-gun and pro-freedom websites. If you enjoy Longenecker's energetic writing style, then you will definitely love Safe Streets In The Nationwide Concealed Carry of Handguns.
Safe Streets In The Nationwide Concealed Carry of Handguns discusses how government enforced dependency is destroying the American spirit, our independence, and is actually one of the root causes of violent crime. Longenecker successfully shows how private ownership of guns does not only benefit gun owners. He shows how gun ownership combats crime, protects our liberties, and helps preserve the independent spirit that makes America the greatest country on earth.
It is a complicated theme, but it is also so simple that it should be common sense. The fact that it is somewhat complicated shows exactly how far we have fallen. That is where this book comes in. It was not only written for patriots, liberty advocates, and gun owners. It was written for the non-gun owner or anyone who a wakeup needs call. Hopefully, they will realize the enormous benefits that gun ownership has on society and that the fight to control our guns is not only about guns. It is about control.
This is one of those books that you truly have to read, because a few paragraphs in a review could never do it justice. However, I will hit on a few parts that really stood out.
The Gun Control Formula
Longenecker discusses how gun control is actually social engineering and is the blueprint for all of the attacks against individual freedom, sanctity of life, and the interests of the United States of America. In the book, you will learn how gun control is also a threat against marriage, religion, and many other parts of our everyday life.
Armed Citizens - Citizen Authority Or Vigilante
Longenecker discusses how citizens who uses a firearm for self-defense is acting on citizen authority and is not a vigilante. This section of the book is one that you may find yourself highlighting paragraphs so that you can use them later in a debate with an antigun co-worker or friend.
Victim Disarmament Zones
Longenecker discusses how Victim Disarmament Zones (also known as Criminal Protection Zones and Criminal Empowerment Zones) leave law-abiding citizens defenseless against criminals. He also discusses several recent incidents where innocent unarmed people were slaughtered in Victim Disarmament Zones.
The CPR Corollary
This part of the book is by far my favorite, and worth at least twice as much as the price of the book. Longenecker was one of the first paramedics in Los Angeles, and was on one of the first panels discussing bystander CPR. As a paramedic for large city myself, I could really relate to the concept of the CPR Corollary. In this section, Longenecker discusses how citizens carrying handguns is identical to citizen CPR prior to the arrival of first responders. He also discusses how many doctors and medical professionals initially opposed citizens learning CPR and wanted it left to professionals. Thankfully, common sense prevailed and CPR was taught to bystanders. As a result, lives have been saved.
This is similar to concealed carry and how may law enforcement officials and government officials oppose armed citizens and want the responsibility for your own safety be left to professionals. Thankfully, common sense is prevailing again, and more states are either passing or improving their concealed carry laws. As a result, lives are saved.
Safe Streets in The Nationwide Concealed Carry Of Handguns by John Longenecker should hold a prominent place in your home library. It is not just a book; it is a tool that can be used to change minds and to help preserve our liberties.
