Mr. Ayoob is well respected by many for his knowledge and his direct way of putting some of that knowledge into easy to understand writing. He does an excellent job of addressing the what if scenarios and when or what you should consider when you make the choice to resort to deadly force. At the time when pressure is on you is not the time to consider all the what ifs. His book helps people be much better prepared for before and after you have to resort to using a firearm in self defense of self or others in your immediate area.

I have carried concealed for over 40 years and have instructed many. This book is one of the best reference books I've seen so far. It will prepare you to understand the pitfalls, liabilities and mistakes you can make in using Deadly Force. It covers examoles of reallife experiences and how they played out in the Judicial System. It prepares you for two things that are all but certain, if you use deadly force no matter how justified you feel you will likely be charged by the DA and have to defend your actions. Secondly, regardless of how the criminal trial comes out you'll also face Civil Trial by the other parties family. I recommend this book as a sobering read to anyone who carries but does not understand what to expect after the smoke clears. It will help you know what to do next, what to expect and how to best prepare yourself.Read full review
Massad Ayoob has written several books, a couple of which I have read. He knows his subject and provides great advice. ....Hopefully I will never be in the situation where I need it. But if I do , I feel like his advice will better prepare me for it. I would also recommend "In the gravest extreme" as a must read for firearm owners.

This book is a must read for anyone who wants to concealed carry or already does. It explains in depth all of the factors that must be taken into consideration before using a deadly weapon. It refers to many court cases to provide grounds on which you could stand if you were ever put in a similar situation.
