FWIW Street Survival by Remsburg is for police officers. A citizen might do better with a book with a citizen's perspective, one not burdened with the constraints of being a PO.
- giantg2 6y agoThe information can still be useful to citizens to know how police are trained to react and why they may ask you to do specific things. Do you have one that's targeted to citizens and covers the same concepts minus the LEO-specific aspects? Most of the ones I've seen only cover specific subsets of the topics.
- giardini 6y agoPerhaps Mark Macyoung's books: "What You Don't Know Can Kill You: How Most Self-Defense Training Will Put You into Prison or the Ground" or the longer more detailed "In the Name of Self-Defense: What it costs. When it's worth it"
- giantg2 6y agoThose seem like good books. The longer one might be a civilian replacement for Street Survival. I'll have to read it. I didn't see any mention of mental rehearsal, visualization, and managing stress in the excepts/overviews, but those don't always list everything. If they cover those as well as tactical thought processes, then these sound like great resources. The only caveat, which I should have mentioned in my book suggestion too, is that any book dealing with potential legal matters on self-defense is only written generally and one should also read their state's statutes/code.
