Alan Korwin wrote his first book, The Arizona Gun Owner’s Guide, in 1989. It is now in its 25th edition with nearly 200,000 copies in print. He went on to write or co-write nine more books on gun laws, including state guides for California, Florida, Texasand Virginia, and the unabridged federal guides Gun Laws of America and Supreme Court Gun Cases. His 11th book, which debuted in 2008, is The Heller Case: Gun Rights Affirmed!, and his 12th, After You Shoot, is about the deadly loophole in self-defense law. He recently completed Your First Gun, for people new to gun ownership, and for gun owners to give to their gunless friends.
With his wife Cheryl he operates Bloomfield Press, the largest publisher and distributor of gun-law books in America. His website, GunLaws.com, features a freeNational Directory to every gun law in the country and more than 300 books and DVDs for gun owners and the freedom movement. Alan’s blog, PageNine.org, is carried by scores of paper and online outlets. Rumors about his outrageous political parody band, The Cartridge Family, cannot be confirmed.
Alan Korwin is a full-time writer whose three-decade background includes work in business, legal, news, and entertainment industries. Mr. Korwin wrote the business plan that raised $5 million in venture capital and launched the in-flight catalog SkyMall. He did the publicity campaign for Pulitzer Prize cartoonist Steve Benson’s 4th book Where Do You Draw The Line.
Invited twice to the U.S. Supreme Court to observe oral argument in Second Amendment gun-rights cases, he has written 10 of his 14 books on that subject and is among the leading national experts in that field. His 12th book, Bomb Jokes at Airports, deals with dangerous and growing limits on free speech, and his political parody band, The Cartridge Family, is helping to spread peace and freedom through music… and threats if necessary.
The winner of the 2013 Defender of Liberty Award, Mr. Korwin is based in Scottsdale, Arizona, where he runs GunLaws.com and Bloomfield Press, the largest publisher and distributor of gun-law books in the nation.
