My E-Books
Thank you for your interest
in my e-books!
This page last updated 12/05/2012
Welcome to my e-book page! I've written an e-book on
the subject of how to go about choosing the right handgun for you and there are
more informative e-books on the way. Many
hundreds of thousands of people have made a handgun purchase, only to discover
that they've made a bad decision. This comprehensive e-book that I've
written will help you avoid making bad handgun purchase decisions.

Why should I download your
e-books? I've always had a desire to help people
out, especially when it comes to gun safety and firearm education. I've
had more than 900,000 visitors and more than six million total hits on
this Web site. I have a soft spot in my heart for teaching children about
gun safety. Forwarding this Web site onto others is one way
that you can help me stay online, while I save the lives of America's children
through real gun safety information. Keeping children safe, teaching new
gun owners the truth about firearm safety and education and getting
people involved in the National Rifle Association is not just a job, it's a
passion. I began teaching gun safety way
back in the early nineties. A co-worker of mine asked me to speak to his son's Cub Scout
group about gun safety. Being an active gun owner and NRA Member, knowing enough about
gun safety to teach a few ten year olds about it, I quickly agreed. I
had imagined that I would be spending an hour teaching a dozen ten year old boys
about gun safety. Boy was I mistaken! Word had quickly gotten around
that "somebody from the NRA would be coming" to teach gun safety. Needless
to say, I was a bit surprised to see seventy five (75) children and adults
there. They had me up on a stage for over two and half hours! I was
introduced to public speaking the hard way, without much focused preparation. Well,
as it turned out, I think I did a pretty good job. I had my father-in-law there
with me, who was in the National Guard and my brother who was a Plymouth County
Deputy Sheriff at the time. I had a plan and I stuck to it and everything
turned out okay. However, after I left the meeting, I
thought of many things that I could have said and indeed should have said.
I thought to myself that I did okay, but I really could have done better and
should have been more prepared. That's when I decided to become
an NRA Certified Basic Firearm Education Instructor. I taught courses on
an irregular basis here and there for about fifteen years. Then I decided
to get myself a Web site where I could reach many more kids and adults than I
could by teaching in-person basic firearm education courses. In
the late 1990's I started a Web site on my personal Web space with my Internet
Service Provider and called it Marc's Gun Safety and Education Web site.
It got pretty high rankings in search engines and I enjoyed it tremendously,
getting thousands of visitors from all over the world. I
thought of going big-time and getting my very own domain. In January of
2000, I started www.SaveTheGuns.com
where you are right now. My goal was to have the most
comprehensive gun safety and firearm education Web site around. Some
people think I'm already there, but I'm never satisfied that that is the case. But after
more than 900,000 visitors, I guess I'm doing okay all by myself. Enough about me and my Web site
already, let me tell you about the e-book: It's an e-book
that I wrote to help people choose their first handgun without making too many
errors. I've seen it time and time again, men and women buying their first
handgun and making a bad choice that they end up terribly regretting. If
you make a bad decision on buying a handgun, it's not that easy and simple to
remedy it. It's not like you can just bring it back to the service desk at
Wal-Mart and walk back out again with a comparable model in a few minutes.
With a handgun, things are different. There's paperwork, background
checks, permits, state forms, federal forms and transfer of firearm registration
cards and so forth. Returning a handgun because of an
ill-conceived purchase is a pain in the @$$ if you get my meaning. If
you've found that you've bought the wrong handgun, chances are that you could
probably sell it back to the place where you bought it, but you'd lose a lot of
money in the process. I wrote
this e-book to help give people the tools they need to make a better decision in
the first place. Here
are the chapter headings in this forty eight (48) page e-book:
-
Why Do You Want a Handgun?
-
Firearm Reliability Concerns
-
Choosing an Action
-
Caliber Selection
-
Choosing a Barrel Length
-
The Test Firing Phase
-
The Final Decision
-

-
Forty Seven Gun Safety Rules
-
Test Yourself
-
Final Messages
If you're fairly new to handguns and you want to avoid
spending your hard-earned money on a bad decision, you should download and read
this e-book. I can save you a lot of headaches if you make the right
handgun purchase first.
