Great multimedia book. If your a shooter or looking for home or self defense info or maybe you just like to read great books on this topic. Well this is the one. Great information that is well written and done with multi media for the iPad. I have gotten through the 1st chapter and I really like it. This is what an electronic book should be about. Great material in a great format that includes video, pictures,and more. Well worth the price. Only downside at all is the file is large but what would we expect from true immersive media.

A very much needed book. This is the best book I have seen to date on personal and home defense. It contains many tips on avoidance and awareness that almost all other books I have seen. The book is interactive and it adds a lot with video and 360 degree views of situations. I highly recommend this book if you are at all worried about protecting yourself and avoiding trouble.

Very Interactive, Very Useful. I just got my Concealed Carry Permit a few months ago and a friend recommended this eBook. I downloaded it the other day and planned to just skim and look it over. This eBook is so well written and interactive that I was through 3 Chapters before I knew it. The author comes at this topic from a point of view I had never thought of, You are your family's first responder. It's a very serious role to take on so you'd better be prepared. This book will get you thinking in that mode. I love the interactive "tests" and can't imagine just "reading" the standard version. get this iPad version, you won't regret it and you, as I have, may learn something along the way.

Great book. This is such a great book, that really gives you the fundamentals of concealed carry. Even if you don't conceal carry, every person who owns a firearm should have this book.

Best iBook I've Read To Date!. My only complaint about this book is that I can't give it a six star rating. This is my first interactive iBook experience and I must say I am very impressed. Michael Martin knocked this one out of the park!

What gives?. I purchased this and have tried three times to download it. Is someone playing games? I have upgraded four apps so it is not my connection.

Fantastic Book. Absolutely fantastic! Easy to understand, easy to read and present information in a way that makes sense. Perfect book for someone new to concealed carry, or someone considering it. Highly recommended!! I

Great Interactive Book. When I decided to purchase my first firearm, I downloaded this iBook. Reviewed it extensively. Mr. Martin explains in simple terms the use, care, and safety of firearms. Now I am confident that when I purchase my first firearm (revolver), I will have at least the basic knowledge to be safe. Thanks, Michael! Warning: At nearly 950 mb, it really eats up your data allowance if you're on an internet service plan.

Awesomely Interactive iBook. You really did a nice job on this. For me, you have set the standard for what an eBook or an iBook should be. This book shows that a tremendous amount of effort and thought went into it. For those of you on the fence, get it. You will not be disappointed!!! This iBook is also available in paperback. I highly recommend forgoing the paperback and opting for the iBook. It's so packed with content that the paperback would need a Volume II to compare. It strikes a perfect balance between informative and fun. I even caught my wife listening to it on the iPad. If you are considering personal protection and home defense options and techniques, make this iBook your first stop.

Highly Recommended Concealed Carry Read. This is one of the best firearms books I’ve read. Kudos to Michael Martin for a very informative, well-written, easy to understand, and comprehend iBook. Not only does it do an excellent job of covering the topics of concealment and home defense it does a great job of describing the physiological and legal aspects of carrying and dealing with an encounter, firearms fundamentals, training tips, types of firearms, gadgets, advanced skills development, and more. I’d definitely recommend Concealed Carry and Home Defense for both newbies and seasoned firearms owners because of the breadth and depth of material, its thought-provoking discussions, interactive topics, and exercises at the end of each chapter to see how well you’ve retained the information.

Fantastic. Michael Martin has done it again. His material has added a whole new dimension onto my concealed carry classes. My students now have a comprehensive guide to go along with the instruction they receive and great video, image, and interactive content to keep growing their knowledge. Michael does a fantastic job in this book showing the many facets surrounding personal protection. I have great respect for his knowledge and wisdom in this area and you will too after reading his material. Enjoy reading this book and remember the best safety is a finger off of the trigger.

Wealth of Information and Multimedia Content. After enjoying the wealth of information and the excellent way in which it is laid in the Concealed Carry book - I was excited to try out the iBook. The quality is as good and the multi-media content is an awesome addition. As a homeowner with an interest in self-protection and firearm safety this is a great source of knowledge - I always feel more confident and knowledgable after reading these books from Michael Martin. This is the kind of thing the iPad was designed for and what a great use of technology this is.

Nothing short of spectacular!. As a carry permit instructor it was easy to select Michael Martin's print book to use as the textbook for my classes. Every person who has ever read the book has found it to be the best resource for carry permit holders, bar none. When Michael's iPad book was released I expected great things from him, but even wit the bar set high I was pleasantly surprised. This book makes the most of the iPad platform, utilizing stunning graphics and several video clips to supplement its easy-to-read text. I am a visual learner, so I found the combination of text and photos, diagrams and video to be the most effective way of transmitting the wealth of information that is contained in their e-book. I only wish there were a way to use this as my class text! I have recommended my iPad-owning students make the minimal investment in this e-book and the feedback I've received has been stellar. I gave it five stars only because I couldn't give it 10!

The Best Concealed Carry Textbook for Instructors and Students!. This review is about the printed book and the app version. Both are first rate publications using high end production values. There is nothing amateur about either of them. First, iTunes lists other books by "Michael Martin." Their software just made a mistake because those authors have the same name. The author of this book app does not dabble. He knows the subject matter and is expert in putting it together in text and graphics in the printed book. Additionally, the book app has videos and interactive widgets. I have been acquainted with the Michael Martin who wrote this book and developed the app for years. I first recommended his initial release of the printed book to a national audience. The interesting thing is that the first edition was for the residents of Minnesota who were going to be applying for their concealed carry permit. The book was so good that I told a hundred thousand people to buy it and just skip over the part where it talked about Minnesota law if they were not from Minnesota. I told them that the price of the book was more than worth it, even though it was originally written for Minnesota residents. Then came the national release of the book, and I recommended it again. There was no other book on the market like it. I labeled it "The textbook for concealed carry," and now I see so many others applying the same label to the book. The app version of the book is just incredible. I tried it on an iPad 2. The graphics, videos and text are incredible. I hear it looks even better using the new iPad. The interactive widgets grabbed and held my interest. The ability to click on links in the text and be taken directly to websites for more information is great. Most of the pages that have a photo actually have a gallery of photos. Just flip through them like you are flipping pages. The interactive widgets are packed with information. I have the printed book, and I tried the app. I really like having hard copy books, but this app is the first electronic version of a book that has me actually preferring it over a hard copy. First time! I have written two professional reviews of this product for a mass audience. The third article I am writing about it will go out to an audience of a quarter million subscribers of an email newsletter I write for. I will be recommending this book app to all of them. I never asked Michael if he had a return policy on his products. It never occurred to me. The reason is that I do not see how anyone could be disappointed in his products offered through his company called Key House Press. It is not like you can go out and find something that teaches the material better. The printed book or the book app should be required reading in every state that issues concealed carry permits. Instructors looking to get a book to teach a concealed carry course from need not look any further than the printed version of Concealed Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals by Michael Martin. If you use tablet PCs in your class, use the app version. If you are an instructor, Mr. Martin has supplemental teaching tools to use in a classroom. This is the book I recommend and have given away to those interested in learning more about concealed carry. Gun shop owners should sell it. Copies would fly off the shelves. The book is so good that a version of it is available in every gander Mountain store nationwide! With the app only being $8.99 as of this writing, you cannot go wrong. That is about one third the full retail price of the printed book, and the printed book obviously does not have interactive widgets or videos. Cody S. Alderson

Great for Novice to Expert. I just finished the book. It provided a great introduction to firearms with tons of tips for the novice shooter. I appreciate that the book provided a solid overview of the different types of actions, without burdening the new shooter with too much detail. Concealed Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals also outlined several drills that can be easily scaled from novice to expert skill levels, and produced resources for further skill development. One key aspect of the book is guidelines for incident response, from threat scanning and attempted avoidance, responding with force appropriate to the threat, and contacting 911 quickly with the basic information. I think that the photos and interactive diagrams are very useful, especially for people new to firearms, and was amused by the Cheer's reference. This book presented explanations for different pieces of gear that a person should consider for their SD/HD preparations, as well as examples on how to properly use it. I recommend this book to new and experienced shooters alike.

Amazing. Buy the book. I love the content and how it is communicated. Video inserts are instructive. Buy the book.

Excellent Must Read for firearm owners. Excellent content, and the media in the ibook is excellent as well. I recommend for anyone new to guns, who will carry, or just wants to refresh (probably pick up some new valuable info.)

A must read for any gun owner. Just finished the book and wanted to say WOW! Definite home run. The layout is nice and flows well. While I've ready many books on my Nook and on the Nook app for iPad, this was both my first iBooks read as well as my first interactive book. The charts, videos, and illustrations were helpful and interesting. My overall favorite chapter is chapter 6 on "The Physiology of Violent Encounters." Your way of describing the brain activities that occur when a human is under stress were easy to understand and thought provoking. I was actually working in the yard with my wife and three year old daughter yesterday and found myself discussing the paths from the Thalamus to the Motor Cortex via both the Amygdala and the Sensory Cortex. Not standard yard work discussion, but, it had captivated me enough to bring it up to my wife. The "reviews" at the end of the chapters were very useful, too. I found myself, starting on chapter 2, reading more carefully once I realized that there would be a test. The high speed camera videos were just plain cool. The sections on firearm operations and accessories were not new information for me, but I can see how a beginner would find it very useful. I wish I had owned a book like this when I first started shooting. Thank you, Michael, for writing this wonderful book. I will highly recommend it to others.

Absolutely Incredible, Very Interactive. I started with the paperback version of this book last year when I took my concealed carry class, and followed up with the eBook now. The paper book was incredible, and this eBook blows even that out of the water. It's PACKED with extra content, videos, and pictures. And it's super easy to breeze through. Pick it up... you WON'T be disappointed.

More of great. I have been using this book in my classes for a long time and love it. Since getting my iPad I often wished for a way to work more mobile regarding this topic. Michael went above and beyond my expectation. I only have two things to say: wow and thank you. this is very well done.

Prepared Senior Citizen. This book should be read by all senior citizens who want to take responsibility for protecting themselves. My husband and I used this book in conjunction with a concealed-carry class, and it is extremely clear and covers everything we needed to prepare us for owning and using a firearm. I hope we're never in a situation where we need to use a firearm to protect ourselves, but with the knowledge gained from this book (and plenty of practice at the range!), we have gained skill and confidence.

Best Book on the Subject. Let me just say "WOW!". Exellent book, unbelievable interactive elements. This is everything the iPad experience should be. The content is outstanding, a must read for anyone considering carrying a firearm.

Well done. This is the perfect port from the paper edition. It's an improvement on something I've been proud to offer my students. Good job, Michael.

BEST BOOK YET!!!. Outstanding! I have a few of Martin's books as well. This iBook is so well put together it is amazing! This is a MUST HAVE for anyone interested in home defense, carry and personal protection.

Enjoying the book. Just got the book at the sale price, read/watched the into and read part of the first chapter. Looks well-done with logical and valuable information. Glad I bought it.
