Wiley Clapp, Paldin Press, Boulder Colorado
Wiley Clapp has been writing about firearms and handguns for over two decades, and his stories have appeared in Guns & Ammo, Shooting Times, HandGunning, Gun World, Combat Handguns. Clapp is currently a field editor for The American Rifleman and handgun editor for Guns & Ammo.
The
book covers everything from ammunition to types of pistols and their
history. Clapp has taken the time to put down in paper what every
person needs to consider before carrying a gun. The gun selection chapter is well written and can help guide the new gun owner through the selection process. This
alone can save money and headaches. Many of our students, including
myself, have bought one or more guns thinking they are the “perfect”
carry gun. In the ballistics chapter one of the key phrases is
“Remember, big holes, deep holes, properly located holes. “ This is
explained by an early line in the book; “A hit with 9mm ball is better
than a miss with a .45 jhp. Marksmanship still counts.”
At Carryconceal.net
we try to help CCW permit holders think about being “Situationally
Aware” of your surroundings and plan for possible scenarios before they
happen. In this book the author even talks about what you may have learned from TV and what actually happens in the real world. Clapp
states; “Leave the gun in the pack until the need to use it is obvious.
Brandishing a gun without justification is a crime in most
jurisdictions. “
Carryconeal.net staff gives this a 5 out of 5 stars for new CCW permit holders.
This can be purchased at Amazon.com from $15.75.
