Unintentionally funny but not that funny
Riddled with typos and grammatical errors - Parents in the book give a 13 yr old her own gun (though the authors acknowledge she is NOT legally allowed to have one until she's 18). Not sure how that promotes responsible gun ownership. There is a laughable passage about the dad (Richard aka Dick Strong - I kid you not) imagining he thwarts a robbery by his mere armed presence. The authors also didn't bother to research the gun laws they extoll. They wrongly state the individual right to bear arms passed in 2009 - DC v Heller ruling was in 2008. Bill Maher mused about the father's hand on the cover - there is an illustration of the happy family at the range and dads hand appears to wander again to icky and unintentionally hilarious effect.
