I had to take a business trip last week to New Hampshire and while I was in the Cinci airport for a layover I stopped in a book store for some reading material. Check out what I found:

It’s required reading for ARFCOM. I bought two copies. One for me and one for a friends 13 year old. When we get to chatting about zombie killing it really freaks his mother’s hippie friends out.

Its a pretty good read.. Some of the weapons selections are a bit off but in general, not too bad.

I was blown away when I saw it. First thing I thought was somebody from ARFCOM had to of wrote this. I think I have been lurking on here for to long when stuff like this gives me a smile.

You should have gotten out and started reading it on the plane. Acting all nervous and constantly stopping to look around suspiciously.

Pretty funny that the author is Mel Brooks' son.

I would have read it on the plane too. Sweating, looking around and muttering, "Why me?"

haha, I can imagine the anxiety the poor flight attendants would have. It was bad enough when some fat ass got half stuck in the bathroom. I thought he was gonna freak out and start going off.

Isn't that the book that said the ar-15 is so jam prone that it will jam after every round is fired. I think the ar-15 would be the best rifle to have . Easy to fire(no recoil) and you can carry tons of ammo. You don't need a 30'06 to kill a Zombie.

The Zombie stories are some of the best parts of the book.
