Books for gun owners
« on: February 28, 2008, 10:02:44 AM »

Lets' talk books again....

Let's create a list of favorite gun books among DRTV members...

In other words... if you had a fire and lost all your books, name the first 10 books to buy to restore your gun book & reference library.

"Sixguns" by Keith, "To Ride, Shoot Straight, And Speak The Truth" by Cooper, "In the Gravest Extreme: The Role of the Firearm in Personal Protection" by Ayoob, Lee "Modern Reloading Second Edition" Reloading Manual by Richard Lee , and of course "The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead" by Brooks.
I know this isn't ten, but I would have to get some other reading material in that first load of ten books.

And to hear the proverbial sickening thud...
