Jim Cobb gets my wholehearted recommendation for this book." -- RationalPreparedness.blogspot.com"Jim does a great job in laying out the options and helping the reader wade through all of the available weapons choices.  I especially liked his improvised 'hand-spike' fashioned from a hub cap removal tool....  If you like reading about prepping - especially defense - you will like this book.  It's a great compilation of security strategies to help protect your 'fort' and 'family'...." -- Creek Stewart, Willow Haven Outdoor"Starting from with basic concepts, he has put together a solid work for evaluating your home from a defensibility perspective and explains what items are necessary to have for both survival and defense." -- ReadingRoomBookReviews.com About the Author Jim Cobb is a disaster readiness expert and owner of DisasterPrepConsultants.com.
