The Practical Guide to Guns and Shooting will teach you easy-to-understand concepts, safety practices and useful tips. 

It's a no-intimidation zone—guaranteed!

"Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever praised a training book this highly. It hit all the marks for what I needed."

I've published about 10 books and a couple of thousand articles over the past decade or so while working as a magazine editor. I love to learn new things every day and thrive on sharing that knowledge through my Practical Guides—fun and lighter-side approaches to new skills and knowledge.

I'm a voracious reader, having filled my house with books and melting three Kindles, topically alternating between history, humor and well-written crime and suspense novels.

No book, video or training program can guarantee successful outcomes, but there’s no doubt preparation increases your odds of surviving a defensive incident.

That’s why I wrote The Practical Guide to Concealed Carry.

The best way to start your journey is to become more prepared for the realities of your everyday life.

The Practical Guide to Concealed Carry will propel you into a more confident and "switched on" lifestyle and teach you how to prepare for a self-defense encounter.

Special Agent Sam Jameson is having a bad week. People are trying to kill her.

That would be business as usual in the counterespionage world, except that it’s the good guys who have her in the crosshairs.

Why are the DC Metro police trying to kidnap her? Do her bosses at Homeland want her in a body bag, too?

And why does everyone she talks to seem to end up in the morgue?

Will a ruthless mercenary, a hapless American traitor, and a dead man’s cryptic clue hold the key to Sam’s survival? 

As the noose tightens around her neck, Sam must uncover a brutal and deadly conspiracy before she becomes its next victim.

"I started going the self-taught route—and this book was exactly what I needed. Super clear, super helpful."

"Definitely worth the read if you’re new to concealed carry."

You can't simply avoid crime by avoiding "bad" places. The criminal decides where and when to act.

Not you.

If you got to choose where and when people committed crimes, you'd never go there in the first place.

The control you have is how you recognize and react to a potential threat. It is up to you to prepare for the unexpected.

"I really enjoyed this book. It’s packed with solid info."

"Tom McHale is an excellent communicator. His writing is crisp, clear, and in places humorous."

A defensive mindset isn't only about guns, but they are a primary tool, so I wanted to offer additional training on proper and safe use and ownership of handguns.

So, I added another book.

The Practical Guide to Concealed Carry

AND

The Practical Guide to Guns and Shooting, Handgun Edition

$24.95

Using an un-intimidating and delightfully entertaining approach, The Practical Guide to Guns and Shooting helps beginning and intermediate shooters learn safety, handgun operation and related concepts including purchasing, range etiquette, and accessorizing. 

A valuable resource for those with firearm experience, the book is equally helpful for beginning and intermediate handgun owners.

Over decades of studying, training, and working in the concealed carry space, I've encountered hundreds of legally armed citizens.

This is why knowledge and training is far more important than just "having a gun."

But how do you get started?

From the Editor of American Handgunner Magazine...

I highly recommend this book for amateurs and knowledgeable folks both. I guarantee you will learn something.

- L.G.

This book was as near to perfection as it could be, relative to my needs. I have likely never given a training book such high praise.

- SWS

"I’ve had my carry permit for a couple of decades... but felt the urge to dig deeper and improve my skills. I started going the self-taught route, and this book was exactly what I needed. Super clear, super helpful. Can’t say enough how much I appreciate it."

I love that people like us understand that we are the first responders — by definition. 

But there's a problem. Most of us don't appreciate how unprepared we really are.


Here's the thing. 

If you're the victim of a violent encounter, just "having a gun" means very little.

"Can’t say enough how much I appreciate it."
