Come join 13-year-old Brenna Strong along with her mom, Bea, and her dad, Richard, as they spend a typical Saturday running errands and having fun together. What's not so typical is that Brenna's parents lawfully open carry handguns for self-defense. The Strongs join a growing number of families that are standing up for their 2nd Amendment rights by open carrying and bringing gun ownership out of the closet and into the mainstream. If you open carry and have a difficult time explaining why to your family and friends, or if you want to learn about the open carry of a handgun, or if you've wondered if open carry is right for you, then this book is what you need. My Parents Open Carry was written in the hope of providing a basic overview of the right to keep and bear arms as well as the growing practice of the open carry of a handgun. We fear our children are being raised with a biased view of our constitution and especially in regards to the 2nd Amendment. Before writing this, we looked for pro-gun children's books and couldn't find any. Our goal was to provide a wholesome family book that reflects the views of the majority of the American people, i.e., that self-defense is a basic natural right and that firearms provide the most efficient means for that defense. We truly hope you will enjoy this book and read and discuss it with your children over and over again. As you read this book, you will learn about the growing practice of open carry, the 2nd Amendment, and the right and responsibility of self-defense. Home School Teachers: This book is an excellent text to use as a starting point on the discussion of the 2nd Amendment.

Kids these days...

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2014

My son just came in from the pool, heard me laughing uproariously and said, "Are you STILL reading those comments?" I assured him that I did other things today... I bet he wouldn't have opened his mouth if I had had a pistol on my hip. Sigh.

Poor Judgment

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2014

There is a war raging in the United States. Those who are opposed argue that using it implies a lack of seriousness, a lack of education, and a flouting of social mores. Those who love it are more rabid about its appropriateness in all situations, wanting to show it off in restaurants, coffee shops, and even the library. Whether it's used at work to passive-aggressively tell a co-worker to stop eating your leftovers or it's used in the neighborhood to generate interest so the kids will come to a birthday party, those on the pro side completely ignore study after study that scientifically show that its use just isn't a good idea.

Am I talking about using a gun? No. I'm talking about using Comic Sans. This book is typeset in COMIC SANS. For the love of all that is good and pure, Mr. Jeffs, if you don't want your ideas about open carry to sound crazy, how about you write about them in a legible font that didn't go out with Windows 95?

Plausible Denial

Rednecks Explain Gun Fetish

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 4, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is an abhorent message, often inaccurate in the facts presented, abysmally written and abysmally plotted. The authors are entitled to their political opinions, but to aim this propaganda at 13 year olds is intellectually corrupt.

The pictures are nicely done, though. And it is frequently unintentionally hilarious.

Thanks to the 2nd amendment there are 90 times the number of intentional gun-related deaths in the US compared to the UK, but this book may go some way to reducing the unintentional death rate, which is 30 times higher in the US due to the 2nd amendment. Never mind that the 'bad guys' in any country arm themselves to shoot at one another rather than the general public, which might neatly explain that other advanced civilisations banned guns and not only didn't go to hell, but actually thrived and significantly reduced their mortality rates. It takes a sort of hubristic egoism to even think you'll even be a key player should anything go down. One wonders if the founding fathers made sex with horses a constitutional right Americans would be so keen to defend it, then again they seem happy to make it up as they go along, adding God back in where the founding fathers pointedly created an athiest country. Here's to the next school massacre!

Für deutsche Verhältnisse ist dieses Buch natürlich skandalös, widerspricht es doch der indoktrinierten, alternativlos dargestellten "Waffen-sind-böse-Ideologie" der links-grünen Gutmenschenmasse.
Befasst man sich jedoch vorurteilsfrei mit der Materie und verfolgt offen die Argumentationsweise der Autoren so erkennt man schnell, warum es wichtig ist, ein Recht auf Selbstverteidigung mit gleichen Mitteln einzufordern und auch zu nutzen. Der Protagonist erklärt es über deutlich: Es gibt böse Menschen auf der Erde und "wenn Sekunden zählen, ist die Polizei Minuten entfernt".
Die plakative und simple Herangehensweise an dieses Thema, was sicherlich dem eigentlichen Zielpublikum - Kinder - geschuldet ist, schadet hier gar nicht. Im Gegenteil, so verstehen auch gleichgeschaltete europäische Waffenhasser die Argumente für ein liberales Waffenrecht und den selbstverständlichen Umgang mit Waffen.
Für den freiheitsliebenden Bürger ein erfrischendes Buch, das als leicht verständliche Argumentationshilfe genutzt werden kann.

kindgerechte Aufarbeitung eines oft falsch dargestellten und falsch ausgelegten Sachverhaltes

Reviewed in Germany on August 30, 2014

Wie erklär ich es meinem Kind ? Warum haben die Amerikaner diesen 2.Zusatzartikel in der Verfassung ?

(Und warum habe wir hier keine Verfassung sondern nur ein Grundgesetz?)

Weil die Ami`s immer schon weiter gedacht haben als wir hier in Deutschland ! Weil man der Demokratie nicht trauen kann ? Nein, aber weil die Demokratie eben recht einfach auszuhebeln und auszuhöhlen ist - deshalb ist muss man ganz am Anfang daran denken was alles passieren könnte. Und gleich eine wirksame "Notbremse" einbauen.
Pflichtliteratur !
