This book will take you on a revealing journey.
Why do we believe that an armed stranger is our main threat when we are twice as likely to die from a traffic accident or fall? Sadly, violent crime victims are often injured by people they know who hurt them at or near the victim's home, according to violent crime statistics.
The author, Clay Escobedo Olsen, uses crime statistics from verifiable sources and fictional stories, called "Storytime," to guide the reader in exploring these ideas on survival and defense. He exposes "uncomfortable truths" when the analysis goes against prevailing wisdom, such as the stranger-danger example above.
For self-defense, guns are not the only or even the best option. For many civilians, carrying a firearm concealed for protection can be more harmful than beneficial. Holistic self-defense takes into account the benefits and possible harms of various self-defense techniques and shows you how to analyze them yourself to create the right strategy for your unique situation.
You will learn that and much more.
