- You'll be thinking that I don't seem to do much else other than lay around reading all the time - but you'd be right!! - I must also add that as a Police licenced gun-owner here in New Zealand I have no thoughts of using firearms for self defence - but as an endorsed 'general collector' I do maintain a healthy interest in the functionality of all firearms.
This book is a worthwhile read and covers the whole topic thoughtfully - I do take exception to having the old testament bible stories quoted to me as factual justification for being prepared ("they laughed at Noahs Ark" and all that) - and he does labour the point a bit about Chinese communists constantly seeking ways to undermine the American way of life by "sending us poisoned dog food .."
No Room for The Dinosaurs - shame.
- Wagner also observes that two AKs can generally be bought for the cost of one top-line AR15.
Still - we've all got our prejudices or inbuilt preferences that we have been conditioned ("brain-washed") to believe - so I forgive him - in a Christian manner.
Overall, this experienced police officer writes much common-sense and has insightful observations to make - such as pointing-out that some 300 duty police officers absented themselves from their duty posts when New Orleans was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina - leaving the population to try survive entirely by themselves.
He also points-out that during the six day Watts Riots in Los Angeles (1965) - Korean owned businesses were immune from the looting because they were guarded / defended by their armed owners and staff (- not by law-enforcement teams).
Well worth reading this book - as long as you can walk-through the little piles of "god and country" without getting your feet smeared.
