Gun Guys: a road trip by Dan Baum.
- Flyleaf version: Dan Baum is both a lifelong gun guy and a Jewish Democrat who grew up in suburban New Jersey feeling like a "child of a bitter divorce with allegiance to both parents." In Gun Guys he grabs his licensed concealed-carry handgun and hits the road to meet some of the 40 percent of Americans who own guns.
- Short version: Gun nerd takes a drive.
- Gerard version: Who the heck writes a nonfiction book and doesn't include any photos? He makes up for that absence with good notes, bib., and index.
