Recommended - with Reservations
| Customer Rating:  | Having heard of this book for some time, I decided to order it and, in the main, I agree with most reviewers. It is well written, superbly informative and thoroughly researched. Chapter divisions are done in a logical order. Opinion is offered in small doses and most of the text tends toward simple revelation of fact. It would be much more user-friendly with an appendix or complete index by subject, but that is a minor quibble, I suppose. As a general reference tool I would rate it at five stars.
My reservations - There are several chapters which would be of use primarily to those who are either independently wealthy, or who may at least decide to forego their building of an indoor heated pool in order to drop a few large bills on a firearm or two.
I remember an act in which the comedian, Steve Martin, said that he was going to share the secrets of his new book, 'How To Live Like A Millionaire'. His advice - "First, get a million dollars.." In a similar vein, a number of the suggestions in this book are useful if one has a sizable budget with much room for discretionary spending. For those with modest means, and who are raising a family, some of the recommendations are beyond impractical.
And although here, I venture out of the realm of pure objectivity, I must say that my second reservation is of a personal nature, that is, whether I wish to help the author reach greater financial success based on the quite insufferable degree of arrogance displayed in his 'Javelin Press' webpage concerning efforts to contact him. Although an indisputably talented writer, his opinion of himself and the value of his time is, sadly, inflated to a degree which passes beyond the mere word 'unpleasant'. When I first read this book, I had every intention of following it up with ordering 'Molon Labe', but after seeing the condescending wording of the notes on the website, I have decided to instead order works by other authors who seem more appreciative of those who purchase their books.
Thus - I would rate the book itself at a four, but would perhaps not recommend buying it based on the author's attitude toward his readers. Perhaps if one bought it used, through the Amazon Marketplace, it would be a good investment. |
A valuable guide for any modern civil rights advocate
| Customer Rating: | Boston's Gun Bible is a valuable resource for anyone with the least awareness of the nature of our increasingly compromised liberty. Our elected officials pay a lot of lip service to the notions of liberty under which our once proud nation was founded, yet plot daily on how to strip the public of yet more of their freedom. In this sad state of affairs, the aware individual will see that at some point, the last shreds of the Constitution will inevitably be swept away, and that they must therefore decide now which side they will be on at the end of our republic: the side of the enslaved, or the side of the spiritual descendants of the minutemen who fought at Concord & Lexington green. This book is the manual for those who wish to be on the side of the right [which may or may not be the winning side in some future conflagration], but who have little time or money to waste learning things the hard way.
Even if you're as yet undecided as to your support in the fight for freedom this is a valuable read, as while it focuses on the practical, it also has some philosophical arguments that strip away the sophistry of the socialist left.
Last revised in 2002, this book is overdue for a new edition, if for no other reason than all the prices and the bulk of the URLs are hopelessly out of date.
I strongly recommend this book for anyone interested in the realpolitik confronting the patriotic U.S. citizen. |
Lots of Good Info
| Customer Rating: | | I was surprised at the wealth of information this book contains, not only about different types of guns, but laws and other information. |
Awesome book on liberty, guns, self protection, dealing with the antigun liberal psychos
| Customer Rating: | I got this book due to recommendations from many excellent websites and other authors whom I know to stand for Freedom and Liberty as established by our Founding Fathers and the many excellent riflemen who fought the Revolutionary War and all the men who have fought in subsequent wars to preserve our Constitution. What I got was a super bargain for the price. It is enlarged from the original by some 200 pages and reads so fast and easy that it is phenomenal. He gives the reader a good Index of terms/acronyms that you will use. It is located in the front of the book and is easy to refer back to when necessary. Aside from that, this guy gives you history, heritage, explanations on WHY we need to protect ourselves, especially from over zealous liberals who want to remove our 2nd Amendment Rights and who keep bogging us down with "Regulations" in effort to try and take our guns away. You get reviews of rifles, handguns, shotguns in as much depth as you could wish for from a man who knows what he is talking about. He brings in views from "experts" in many areas and topics to back up what he is trying to explain to you.
You cannot go wrong with BTP. He's right for every FREEDOM LOVING person in the U.S. If you are a Liberal and are against anyone except the police and military having guns, then you are going to find yourself very much abused in this book for being already enslaved and under control of other people who think they know what is best for you, regardless of what you think about it.
I must emphasize one very outstanding focus BTP makes in this book. He has a fully detailed section for Women and how they need to protect themselves. He helps with gun selections and other protective means.
Lastly, he gives you resource referral information on where to go to get what, things to watch (videos, movies), books to read, and important names/addresses/contact info, website addresses, etc.,on other resources including within the government. This is a super resource and learning book that is very timely in this day and time when it looks like we may be faced with some kind of issues in self protection/survival from terrorists, bad governmental agents, or people who want to bring you and your family harm. It will lift your "Freedom Loving" spirits in showing you how YOU can survive and how you MUST protect yourself and your family. I find myself picking it up and rereading here and there all the time. It is almost a daily thing to review something or some section in my Gun Bible and get Boston's views on it again. I found this as one of the best ever books I've ever owned and it is definitely very inspirational to this old Constitutionalist who feels that his freedoms are slipping out from under him very fast in this day and time.

A book for everyone
| Customer Rating: | This is one book I would honestly recommend for everyone. If you are a gun owner and have not read this book you must at once. If you plan on buying a gun at any point you need this book. Without a doubt the best single book on the subject of firearm ownership.
