I'm a young female who just moved into an apartment of my own, where guns are allowed, so I got a CCW permit and bought a gun. And this book. My firearms instructor recommends it to every one of his students. It should be required reading for every gun owner, new and experienced.
When to use self defense is often a grey area legally and circumstantially, and while every situation is different, Ayoob does a fantastic job of covering as much detail as he can in this compact book. He describes specific situations in which defense was an only option, and instructs you on what your own options are before, during, and after a deadly incident. And that's not all-he also discusses training with your weapon, knowing your weapon and your rights at all times, among many other important aspects of gun ownership and defense. The book helped me to become more vigilant and responsible, and to take my right to self defense even more seriously.
The only thing I warn against is that the book is outdated in terms of the laws and firearms he discusses. These have changed, so be sure to check with law enforcement or another reliable source for the most recent updates.
