You will find plenty of threads where we discussed videos and books.

Because you are still rookie ( :smiling_imp:) I will make it easy for you right now. :wink:

Books… as mentioned already,

  1. Jeff Cooper - “Principles of Personal Defense”
  2. Massad Ayoob - “Deadly Force - Understanding Your Right to Self Defense”

but also these are MUST-TO-READ:

  1. Massad Ayoob - “In the Gravest Extreme”
  2. Massad Ayoob & Others - “Straight Talk On Armed Defense”
  3. Andrew Branca - “The Law of Self Defense” [look always for the latest edition]

Additional books if you are interested more about gear, tactics, habits, etc:

  1. Massad Ayoob - “The GunDigest Book of Combat Handgunnery, 7th Edition”
  2. Mark Walthers & Kathy Jackson - “Lessons from Armed America”
  3. Mark Walthers & Rob Pincus - “Lessons from Unarmed America”
  4. David Klinger - “Into the Kill Zone”

And of course you have to read these books from USCCA training:

  1. “Should I Shoot”, Volume 1 and Volume 2
  2. “Defensive Shooting Fundamentals”
  3. “Concealed Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals”
  4. “Countering the Mass Shooter Threat”

I personally value also NRA books and these are great guides for new shooters:

  1. “NRA Guide - Basics of Pistol Shooting”
  2. “NRA Guide - Basics of Personal Protection Outside the Home”
  3. “NRA Guide - Basics of Personal Protection Inside the Home”

These 16 books we everything I needed to get enough knowledge to be safe, feel safe and create comfort zone for me and my Family.
As I have mentioned, if you combine the knowledge from these books with continual training and home
dry fire you will become “Somebody” and will never be “Nobody” again. :+1:
