coverI finally resumed reading Effective Handgun Defense after it has been on the shelf since January of 2008. I got about halfway through the book today and I can say that it is illustrated, informative, entertaining and sprinkled with history and humor.

It’s about time I resumed reading this book. I have an excuse, though, we were distracted by retiring, building a house, moving, etc. Funny with most of that now behind us, we just seem to have a little more time on our hands to get caught up on our reading.

During the passage where the exploits of the James brothers (Frank and Jesse) are discussed, the Author, Frank W. James, makes the humorous point that he is no relation to his infamous namesake. It made me chuckle.
