This started out as a 5 Star rating, but quickly went down hill as the evening progressed.
After saying our prayers to Jesus and Charlton Heston, I sat on the edge of my kids bed to read them this book, when I shifted my position and accidentally set off my 9mil that was strapped to my hip, shooting myself in the thigh. This wouldn't have been so bad, flesh wounds happen, other than the fact that I hit an artery and started spurting blood all over my kids Ted Nugent and Sarah Palin sheets. 4 Stars for not covering a gun's safety in your book.
After tying a tourniquet to my leg and wiping the blood off the kids, we headed to the emergency room for treatment. We made sure to bring the book along to continue reading the story to the kids while we waited, not wanting to waste a valuable teaching moment.
There were a lot of minorities in the Emergency Room when we got there, some that were even carrying intimidating guns on their hip, frightening my family. I'm sure they were up to no good. But fortunately, I still had my 9mil. on my hip, and my wife had our trusty AR-15 on her shoulder, so we knew we were safe.
It wasn't until after the shootout, while talking to the police officer that I found out that the Stand Your Ground Law works both ways. Evidently, a white man with a gun is just as scary to a black man as a black man with a gun is to a white man. Who knew? 3 Stars for not explaining this in your book.
After being treated for multiple gun shot wounds and feeling quite light-headed from the blood loss, we went home to discover our house being robbed! Unfortunately, they found my .357 in my nightstand. So much for home protection! The bastard shot me in the other leg before running off into the night! 2 Stars for not covering how to properly secure your guns in your book..
To say the least, I'm seriously reconsidering my position on open carry and endorsing your book. But your book really is a solid 1 star, really.
