Book excerpt: This book is intended to give moral and ethical guidance on the subject of self-defense, which necessarily includes citations of law and various legal principles. However, the citations and examples used in this book apply only to the specific situations herein and must not be construed as legal advice in or for any specific situation. Furthermore, the recommendations, descriptions of weapons, tactics or actual use-of-force accounts must not be undertaken or used without first obtaining professional legal and self-defense advice from experienced lawyers and certified instructors IN YOUR OWN STATE. Self-defense laws and the legality of owning various weapons differ from state to state (and county to county and city to city in some states), including state and federal laws governing legal transportation of various weapons. The reader is encouraged to study the recommended works cited to gain a better understanding of use-of-force principles and methods, and then seek out hands-on training from qualified instructors before attempting to actively defend himself or others. Self-teaching or unskillful use of active defensive weapons and martial arts can result in serious injury or death. Self-defense is an individual decision. The reader has a personal, moral, and legal obligation to use power and knowledge responsibly and legally and is personally liable for improper use-of-force.
