Tactical books?

I picked up a good magazine the other day about domestic defense/preventative tactics.

Anyone have a recommendation on books of this nature?

Basically, I'm interested in domestic combat, defense, avoidance, and ofcourse I'm interested in handgun tactics and learning more about places to conceal (not only on your person, but in the house, car), pros and cons of concealing in different places, etc.

The Massad Ayoob books have begun to be a bit dated, wish he would update them with a new version.

The Gun Digest Book of Combat Handgunnery 5th ed (Ayoob, 2002) is particularly good (imo) and nicely updated.
It displaced my 2nd ed. (Taylor).

Also, for fun, God, Guns & Rock and Roll by Ted Nuget!

The basic concepts are timeless. Yes the information on particular fireamrs and available loads is dated, but it's not like we can't figure out for ourselves what firearm and what load to use. The important stuff is the training, tactics, and mindset. That never changes.
