his name sounds like sideboob
Not a comment I would make to his face.
:)
He is a certified bad ass.
He’s a smart guy and this is good advice.
“I feared for my life.”
My lawyer will answer all other questions...
Also, he was once asked why he had never become a master of at least one of the martial arts.
He replied. “If I was attacked and I was some sort of Kung Fu Jedi Master, then I might not get to shoot the bad guy.”

What have you done?
Ayoob is one of the best guys in the gunner’s rolodex of people to rely on for accurate info.
Also, DO NOT follow advice from WENDLE in #7.
See #8.
The rest of your life could depend on it.
His book, "In the Gravest Extreme" is a must have if you're going to carry a sidearm.

Max Ayoob is awesome. Since you are clearly not familiar with him, go out and buy and read In the Gravest Extreme: The Role of the Firearm in Personal Protection. It’s a little old, so some of the weapons discussion has been superseded by events (automatics are much more common now, vs. revolvers), but the core information on legal and psychological aspects is just solid. A must read. Seriously, doing this will be one of your best uses of time this year.
