Last week’s poll asked you about your favorite pro-gun fiction, and it looks like John Ross’ tome “Unintended Consequences” was a clear winner.
This week poll was a bit more difficult. There is SO much unbelievably educational, well written non-fiction out there, that I had a hard time choosing which books to include in the poll.
I tried to give a sampling of some of my favorites, but there are definitely more – from real stories of armed self defense, to history books, to how-to books to improve your accuracy – so if you don’t see your favorite in the list below, just hit “other” and let us know in comments.
We’re always looking for new reading recommendations!
You are so right! There are entirely too many excellent books and other media items available to make any rational choice among so few options, and I have too many “favorites.”
One of the books I’ve given most often to new shooters (and others) is “Hologram of Liberty” by Kenneth Royce (Boston T Party). It is concise, not too long, and contains a great many references to other relevant material. It deals with individual liberty, not just “gun rights.”
I hate to admit this, but I am not qualified to vote in this weeks poll. I have read some non-fiction pro guns, but mostly they were educational or reference type. However, this is not a total loss, as I am seeing a few books here that I now know that I simply have to get ahold of and read for myself.
I have read the Federalist Papers, but it was a long time ago, in school, and even though I have an understanding of them, to say that they are my favorite is not fair, as I simply have not enough to compare them to yet.
Once again, TZP is serving a great purpose, that of prodding me to educate myself a little more about something which I need to learn so that I have a better base of knowledge on which to stand. Good for you, as always, Nikki, and I am sure that there will be many in the other column from which to choose as well.
Here’s a couple to add to your reading list:
Straight Shooting, John Lott, Jr
From Luby’s to the Legislature, Suzanna Gratia Hupp
