The beauty of life. When we think of it, we envision our daily moments captured by the scent of candles burning, the ethereal and maudlin sound of the violin, a good book, dancing tango, smoking a cigar, playing basketball with our children, studying the stars, visiting with friends. And for most of the time, we know we can enjoy these gems of pleasures. However, there lurks in the shadows of society an unpleasant and unrealized reality, one painted by terror and bloodshed. Dekalb, Illinois. Thursday. February 14, 2008. (CBS/AP) A man dressed in black opened fire with a shotgun and two handguns from the stage of a lecture hall at Northern Illinois University, killing five students and injuring 16 others before committing suicide, authorities said. Some of the students were tripping over other students who were hit by bullets, frantically trying to escape the danger to their own lives. It was reported that this event happened from start to finish in two minutes. Time. In practically no time, your life of beauty can be taken away. Ugliness is that quick. It is that merciless. Preparation for the unexpected is what this book is about. It is an introduction to the equipment that is necessary for a particular mission. This mission is defined as the protection of yourself and your family from deadly threats. This mission is one that requires knowledge not only of the equipment, but also the skills in using that equipment. Although there is much more that can be said about preparation for this mission, for now, we will focus on the beginning...the beginning of your journey into the realm of the newly armed citizen.
