It's not psychobabble

I knew Dave Grossman when he was still on Active Duty, and have an autographed copy of his book. "On Killing" will do absolutely nothing for your ability to pull or not pull the trigger. The book is about how the military has successfully used psychological conditioning to enable soldiers to take human lives and still function, and how that conditioning has bled into society at large through popular entertainment. That might or might not be useful to you in understanding your potential adversaries, or in deciding whether or not to carry.

The man did his homework in putting this book together and even after leaving the Army has repeatedly served as a civilian advisor and instructor for the US Army Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command. He is fantastic speaker, and his book was well researched and well written. I highly recommend reading it...but not because it's in any way tied to concealed carry.
