Unintended Consequences, anyone read it?

[mettle]

I have read it a couple of times. I have learned to love the mettle of Henry Bowman and also come to share his love of shooting!

Who had read this good work?

Unintended Consequences (by John Ross) should be consider mandatory reading for anyone who professes an interest in preserving our individual right to keep and bear arms as well as individual liberty in general. If you have note read it, you should at your earliest opportunity. If you have read it, you should read it again.

I've read it once. Been meaning to read it again. I recommend it to anyone pro-RKBA and pro-rights as well.

Read it, loved it. Not easy to get ahold of a printed copy anymore, at least not cheap. Easier to find a PDF of it. No matter what, just find a way to read it.

I got a copy of the unexpurgated first run, then got another signed copy of the amended edition about a year later at Knob Creek.

 

[knobcreeknut]

got mine in Oct 95 at the indy 1500 autographed. I have read it at least 6 times, an dfind my self pulling it out for reference on firearms history quite often. I have loaned it out many times,and have bought 5 or 6 additional copies and given them out as gifts. by far it is my favorite book, and I am an avid reader.

what is the difference in the first edition and the amended version?

That may be a sign of where we are, people are looking for direction and hope.

[whiskeytangofoxtrot]

Skip the Patriots book. It is a fairy tale book that is wrote poorly and is very dated. You won't learn enough to actually make the purchase a viable option.

Since you have been a huge help with the videos, I would be more than happy to loan you my copy of Inintended Consequences.

However, like others have mentioned, you will be better off buying a copy for yourself as you will find yourself re-reading it about once a year.

There is a body armor salesman, I think his name is David Richards in the book, that looked an awful lot like Rick Davis of Second Chance body armor. Davis was trying to get government contracts at the time (this was before he was accused of fraud and sued by the Army for substandard armor being provided) and didn't want to look anti-government. He pitched a sh*t-fit and apparently some changes were made, it's been a while since I've read them, but they are different. I just looked at my autographed copy, I thought I had gotten it at Knob Creek, but it says Oct 26, 1996 at Indianapolis so I must have gotten it at the 1500 also.

Excellent book! I highly recommend it and will make sure my children read it at least once before they leave from under my roof.
