Boston's Gun Bible


Foreword by Timothy J. Mullin, of ''Unintended Consequences.''
Since the 2002 edition, over 200 pages of various revisions have been included during the annual reprintings. Amazon carries the latest 2009-on printings which include Boston's several page analysis of the Heller decision. (This is not some completely new edition, as some reviewers have incorrectly inferred. Three-fourths of the book remain the original text of 2002. The other fourth are revised pages from 2003-2009.)
While Boston recognizes that gun/gear prices have changed, and that a few new worthy products have emerged, he does not feel that the title yet deserves a completely revamped edition. Good basics never change, and BGB is pretty thorough about those.

Review

I will save you a bit of reading, in case you are in a hurry, and just tell you now to buy this book. If you want to know more before spending $33.00 on improving your shooting, collecting and other gun skills, read on.
This book was written by Boston T. Party, the well known (to Libertarians) author of such titles as You and the Police, Surviving Y2K And Other Disasters, Hologram Of Liberty and a handful of other noteworthy titles. If you want yet another glossy photo gun book, extolling all of the imaginary virtues of every firearm ever made, this is NOT the book for you. If you are after a no holds barred consumer guide to firearms, accessories, and shooting, GET IT.
Boston's Gun Bible goes into great detail about the pros and cons of various defensive weaponry, equipment, and the philosohy behind their appropriate usage. The work is markedly political, obviously pro gun, and has a rather witty ''screw the hoplophobes'' tone that I really enjoyed. The writing is crisp and to the point. Eloquent without being boring. This is a hallmark of Boston's work, and you will not be diappointed in Boston's Gun Bible. At about (850) pages, it can't be considered light reading, but the subject matter is important and needs a lot of covering to get it all through to the reader in its entirety.
Included in the book is information on:
Selecting rifles, pistols, revolvers
Gun shows
ATF Sting operations
Gun nomenclature
Sighting in
Optics and other sights
Women and guns
Politics and guns
How to cache weapons and ammo
(And everything else you want to know, or so it seems)
I thought that the project would be rather daunting when he undertook it, but the results are well worth the money. What he ended up with is a layman's guide/how to book for buying, selling, choosing, caring for, KEEPING, shooting and enjoying firearms of all types, but especially those that are ''Liberty's Teeth''. Especially valuable is the section detailing the merits and faults of various modern semi auto rifle systems. What you will NOT find in this book is ANY hint of advertising $$$ influence, chicanery, or editorial falderal.
Boston knows his subject, and covers it exhaustively.

Did I mention that you should buy it?
--Kevin (Mad Dog) McClung, knifemaker and gunsmith

Boston's Gun Bible stands alone as the very best all-around reference for firearms owners. Not only does it cover practical rifles, pistols, and shotguns in detail, but it has a wealth of valuable information on related subjects such as optics, practical carry, training, legal issues, and legislative issues. . . . fantastic!
--James W. Rawles, author of best-selling novel Patriots

Boston's Gun Bible simply may increase your level of awareness to help in the personal protection of your family, or it may be helpful in making Americans understand that freedom like ours was won with steel -- not purchased with gold.
--Clint Smith, founder of Thunder Ranch


About the Author
Kenneth W. Royce (founder of Free State Wyoming), is a shooting instructor, speaker, and the author of 13 Boston T. Party books on guns, history, law, politics, privacy, and government.

One Nation, Under Surveillance was probably the final title from Boston T. Party, as he begins work on other books (under Kenneth W. Royce), projects, and travel.
Look for the next book by Royce, who breaks out in a new direction with this self-help book for the remedial man:
