What if someone in the Aurora theatre would have been armed? What if a teacher in Newtown had been carrying a concealed weapon? At the Riverside Church Massacre...someone was. Josh Sackett never intended to kill anyone. His deep belief in America's Second Amendment drove him to get his concealed carry permit. His passionate desire to protect his family demanded that he carry a pistol. Over time, it became a habit, almost an afterthought, like carrying a cell phone for most people. It was a Sunday like any other. Josh Sackett took his family to the popular Riverside Church, nestled along the banks of the Iowa River. His children were in their Sunday school classes. His wife and older daughter worshipped at his side. Life was sweet. That's when it happened. Gunshots in the lobby tore through the melody and exploded into Josh's mind. He didn't think. He reacted the way he'd always hoped he would. Gun in hand, Josh left the sanctuary and came face-to-face with death. Kill or be killed. How would you react? Josh Sackett knows the answer to that question. Nine-one-one calls cry out for help. Within minutes, bloody pictures hit the internet. The eyes of the nation focus in to view the horror. Like driving by an accident, you don't want to look, but you do. Blood demands action. The sound of gunfire dissipates as the real gun-fight has only just begun. Mercy Shot is ripped straight from the current headlines of today. The national debate rages on with true-to-life media personalities, politicians, and power players of the twenty-four hour news cycle. Josh is a hero to some, a villain to others. His life and future hang in the balance and a court of law. Mercy Shot will make you laugh, cry, and shake your head in frustration. National issues impact real lives on a local level. Political powers clash in an epic struggle waged in cyberspace, as well as, the courtroom. The battle is not really about guns, but over the very soul of America.

Captures the gun control circus perfectly

ByR. Campbellon March 20, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Mercy Shot is a very thought-provoking look at the gun control movement and the depths to which some politicians will descend to push the agenda. You also get a strong sense of the terrible weight of responsibility, both personal and legal, that arises from the use of deadly force for personal defense.

This is an interesting story, decently written but still showing that the author is not a seasoned writer. This book could also stand a professional proofreading, as there are numerous amateurish spelling and grammar errors.
