Synopsis

Does physically surviving a gunfight mean you won? Not by a long shot. Many people survive gunfights. In fact, most people who are in a gunfight survive. But there is a difference between surviving and winning. Surviving means you continue to exist. Continuing to exist and winning are not the same. Career police officer and author Tim Rupp understands both sides of a gunfight being investigated after his own involvement in one and investigating citizens and officers who were in shootings. Drawing from personal and professional experiences as a patrol officer, homicide detective, and police sergeant, Rupp takes you through what you ll face in a gunfight. Before picking up a gun for personal protection or the protection of others you need to understand what you will face before, during, and after a gunfight. Winning a Gunfight prepares you to win ethically, mentally, and tactically. Winning a Gunfight is a must read for police officers, military, and armed citizens.
