Here's A SNEAK PEEK At What's Inside:
 
                     
  COVER STORY:
NON-GUN PERSONAL PROTECTION
Richard Mann
  American Handgunner Personal Defense  
               
  Non Lethal Protection    
               
 

I know, I know, this is a GUN magazine and you expect to read about guns in a gun magazine. This is also a magazine that deals with personal protection/self-defense and the fact is that sometimes a gun is not the best option. So, after you read all the other articles contained in this volume and finish drooling over all the fine firearms discussed and pictured within, come back to this page and get a dose of reality.

I was a cop for 13 years and for a good part of that time I worked drug interdiction in a small town. The bad guys knew me, knew where I lived, knew my wife and knew where she worked. It worried me because these bad guys were, well, BAD guys. They carried guns and used them to not just scare, but shoot people.

  FOREVER ARMED
Improvised Weapons For Self-Defense
Michael Janich
  Forever Armed        
                     
  Although the concept of using improvised weapons for personal protection is far from new, it has taken on a whole new meaning during the past few years. After the tragic events of September 11th and incidents like the shootings at Columbine and Virginia Tech, the carry of purpose-designed weapons has become much more restricted and the number of "non-permissive" environments "where weapons are totally forbidden" has increased tremendously.

  ARE YOU COVERED?
Tiger McKee
  Are You Covered        
                     
  You and your family are seated and enjoying a meal at the food court at the mall. The festive mood is shattered by the crack of gunshots. Two tables over you see a man with a pistol, and his wild eyes staring right at you. It's 2:00 am and you're walking up a sidewalk, responding to a domestic dispute call. A man steps out from a darkened corner of the porch. Instantly you realize he's leveling a shotgun on you. You and your squad are patrolling a crowded market in Iraq. Little by little, you notice people leaving the area. The violent explosion of an I.E.D. knocks you to the ground, the eruption initiating a vicious firefight

  GUNSITE BASICS
Having A Gun Is Only The First Step
Jeremy D. Clough
  Gunsite Basics        
                     
  Whenever people talk about self-defense, they usually start by making the decision whether or not to buy a gun. Unfortunately, that's where it ends for most people. Once they make that choice, they pay comparatively little attention to what gun they buy, and virtually none to the ammo they put in it or the holster the gun goes in, much less learning how to use it effectively. .

  THE .327 FEDERAL MAGNUM
Undeniable Versatility
Richard Mann
  Federal Magnum        
                     
 

Up front let me say that I do not think the .327 Federal Magnum is a better man-stopper than the .357 Magnum. When it comes to making bad guys fall down, the bigger and deeper you make the hole generally means the more your odds are increased. Bullets fired from a .357 Magnum are larger in diameter and heavier. It's my opinion that a bad guy has about as much of a chance determining if he was hit by a .327 or a .357 as he does of getting a night on the town with Carmen Electra.
