“Happiness is a Worn Gun – My Concealed Weapon and Me”
Dan Baum, Harper’s Magazine, August 2010

Here’s an even-handed treatment of the concealed carry lifestyle that appears in Harper’s Magazine, August 2010. The author, Dan Baum, writes about his experience with moving from the use of firearms as a hunting hobby to self-defense.

It is a long but rewarding read, ideal for when you have spare time to sit-back and reflect while drinking a coffee. Dan Baum takes a reasoned, introspective look at his own motivations, as well as those of firearms advocates and anti-gunners. You many not like all of the conclusions he draws, but his points are fair and balanced.
