About the Book
This is about gun reviews, accessories, and gun-related advice. Most of the reviews are from my website, batesvilleshooter.com. Twenty-four friends posted reviews on their favorite firearm. The book is available at retailers or from my website. I will take orders immediately, and you will have delivery options shown on the buy page. In the year of our Lord, 2020, 21 million guns were purchased in the United States. The segment of our population that experienced the largest growth was women. The 28% increase last year has statisticians guessing how many women own guns or have access to a gun. I believe 25-35% of women fit into the category of owning or access and will continue to grow. I am happy that some women have pre-ordered my book, and any woman or man that pre-orders a book, who is a beginner, would like to attend a gun safety class of mine in the fall, let me know. One gentleman who pre-ordered a book has a concealed carry permit, owns a gun, but needs a training class. He is number one on my list. The classes are free, and you do not have to pay for the ammo. I have always tried to make economic decisions in business that made sense. My book has approximately two hundred fifty photos, and to save quite a bit of money, the smart move was to have a Chinese printing company do the printing and binding. My principles took over my decision-making. My book was printed in our great Country, and I will continue to be guided by my principles, not by financial gain. Larry Reidy

Beautiful Book
A buddy recently sent me a book that ought to be titled, Firearms in Flyover Country. It’s not a novel, but a kind of a manual of firearms owned by men and women in middle America.
It’s beautiful, packed with full-color photos of a host of beautiful rifles and pistols. The actual title is Batesville Shooter and Friends. The author is 82-year-old Larry Reidy of Batesville, Indiana. The contributing friends are fellow firearms enthusiasts from Indiana and several other states lying along the chilly side of the Mason-Dixon line.
Mr. Reidy does not claim to be being a weapons expert. It’s just that he’s carried firearms since before he was a U.S. Army military policeman, and he owns a heck of a lot of guns. Moreover, he has honest opinions about those weapons — be they Weatherbys, Henrys, CZs, Springfields, Rugers, Glocks, and so forth – and he uses this book to express those views. So do his friends. Oh, do you, as a starter, want insight about buying safes, zeroing scopes, firing Bullpups, choosing concealed weapons for women, and so forth?
I recommend Reidy.
It’s his second book, by the way. The first — My Quest For Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, from 1939-2019 – seems especially appropriate nowadays.
