Summary:
"This second edition examines the least frequent but most challenging duty facing law enforcement: the use of deadly force. It does not focus on specific laws, tactics, and equipment, but instead, the people behind the badge and the human performance factors that impact their physical, legal, and emotional survival. Much of the content -- research, resources, stories, and suggestions -- applies to any person caught up in a life-threatening emergency. It is particularly relevent for citizens in the concealed carry community."--Back cover
