In Self-defense, Part I

A while back, I collaborated with Alan Gottlieb – whose Second Amendment Foundation emerged as the victor in the recent Supreme Court ruling in McDonald v. City of Chicago – on a book we called America Fights Back: Armed Self-Defense in a Violent Age. We’ve shared bylines on some other books*, but this particular effort seems to have struck a nerve with readers. In this book, we explain why lethal self-defense is moral.

Add Marko Kloos' (not that Major Caudill plaigerizer) essay "Why the gun is civilization" http://munchkinwrangler.wordpress.com/2007/03/23/why-the-gun-is-civilization/ to your piece and I think the subject is pretty well covered.

IMO the point is not what we do, but what the violent criminal actor does that forces us to respond with lethal force.

Now if we could just get civil immunity across the board.

stay safe.
