Maxwell has a passion for ensuring students receive quality information, that they understand it, and that they can recall the information that was presented. All too often, students are thrust into the world of firearms law in classes that are either way too brief or far too technical for them to grasp. Maxwell authored this book, to guide students and give them a valuable resource in Arizona firearms laws in terms they can understand, and to give instructors a guide from which to teach.
