About the Author

Donna Lea Hawley possesses a rare combination of skills and credentials. She has a law degree and more than 20 years of legal research and practice experience, has authored 15 books, is a highly certified firearms instructor who has trained more than one thousand students, contributes regularly to national magazines, and is a competitive shooter. She found Bloomfield Press while searching for a publisher to do a book on Florida gun laws. It was a perfect match.

Donna Lea has been a firearms enthusiast since the age of nine, when she got her first BB gun as a Christmas present. At the age of 11, encouraged by her parents, she started shooting a .22 rifle. She started competitive shooting in high school where she joined the school smallbore rifle team. Since then she has competed in pistol, smallbore rifle, and is now an IPSC practical-shooting competitor.

Ms. Hawley teaches firearms safety and concealed-weapons classes through Paramount Defense Academy in Florida. She is a graduate of the Florida Dept. of Law Enforcement Firearms Instructor Course, Massad Ayoob’s Lethal Force Institute, and the National Range Officer’s Institute. Donna Lea holds six NRA Instructor certifications and is certified by the State of Florida as a Hunter Education Instructor. Her teaching skills have been honed as an instructor in the Dept. of Criminology at Simon Fraser University, and by teaching legal seminars on sports liability and self defense for the past 15 years.

Donna Lea Hawley holds a Master’s Degree in Physical Education and uses this background in her shooting instruction. She conducts research in various aspects of shooting skills including reaction time, aspects of vision related to shooting, and the application of kinesiology to shooting positions. She has published more than 200 articles on shooting, training for physical skill development, self defense, unarmed defensive skills, legal issues and other topics.

Alan Korwin, author of three books and co-author of seven others, is a full-time freelance writer, consultant and businessman with a twenty-five-year track record. He is a founder and two-term past president of the Arizona Book Publishing Association, which has presented him with its Visionary Leadership award, named in his honor, the Korwin Award. He has received national awards for his publicity work as a member of the Society for Technical Communication, and is a past board member of the Arizona chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists.

Working with American Express, Mr. Korwin wrote the executive-level strategic plan that defined its worldwide telecommunications strategy for the 1990s; he wrote the business plan that raised $5 million in venture capital and launched SkyMall; he did the publicity for Pulitzer Prize cartoonist Steve Benson’s fourth book; and he had a hand in developing ASPED, Arizona’s economic strategic plan. Korwin’s writing appears often in a wide spectrum of local and national publications.

Korwin turned his first book, The Arizona Gun Owner’s Guide, into a self-published best-seller, now in its 20th edition. With his wife Cheryl he operates Bloomfield Press, which has grown into the largest producer and distributor of gun-law books in the country. It is built around six books he has completed on the subject including the unabridged guide Gun Laws of America, an expanding line of related items, and countless radio and TV appearances. Supreme Court Gun Cases is his 10th book.

Alan Korwin is originally from New York City, where his clients included IBM, AT&T, NYNEX and others, many with real names. He is a pretty good guitarist and singer, with a penchant for parody (his last band was The Cartridge Family). In 1986, finally married, he moved to the Valley of the Sun. It was a joyful and successful move.

4.0 out of 5 stars Florida Gun Owners Guide, April 2, 2000
By ed (USA) - See all my reviews
...An excellent source for all the legal information and restrictions on firearms. Required reading for any person who has a concealed gun permit. This book focuses on the actual law and is very specific and clear about the restrictions for guns. Every American should take extereme pride in his freedom and rights. Those of us who are prepared to defend such freedom need to read this book.
