On quick scan many of the facts presented are correct and many are wrong. Unfortunately it appears that those most relevant to issues requiring judgment in planning your self defense strategy are the ones that most frequently are wrong.

Even adjusting for the fact that the author is starting with incorrect facts he shows a tendency to reason poorly.

The advice presented ranges from the inadequate, to the barely practical, to the silly.

Rates a D- in my book. Not worth the time spent scanning it.

Researching the falacies in fact and reasoning might be an entertaining exercize.

I didn't see much of use there. I recommend instead Andrew Branca's book "The Law of Self Defense" available from Amazon. Andrew is a practicing attorney and a shooter.
