Let us remind ourselves again that the Second Amendment of the US Constitution should be referred to as the Statute of Liberty.
Jeff Cooper
An unarmed man can only flee from evil, and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it.
Jeff Cooper
At long last I have discovered that most shooters are not interested in firearms as tools, but rather as toys. Such people do not acquire their weapons because of what they will do, but rather to gratify the Christmas morning joy that we largely left behind in our childhood.

'Heroism' is not the same as coping. A man who does his job properly and succeeds through his own efforts is definitely to be commended, but he is not a hero in the classic sense until he deliberately lays his life on the line for a cause he deems to be greater than himself.
Jeff Cooper
Your physical safety is up to you, as it really always has been.
Jeff Cooper
Anyone who is aware of his environment knows that the peril of physical assault does exist, and that it exists everywhere and at all times.
Jeff Cooper
One of the notable aspects of the democratic process is that one need not know anything about a subject in order to pass laws about it.
Jeff Cooper
In all history the only bright rays cutting the gloom of oppression have come from men who would rather get hurt than give in.
Jeff Cooper
If I wasn't a trader, I would probably be in the film business in some capacity and writing in some other form. I went to NYU Film School and London Film School.
Jeff Cooper
I have long had a tendency to tie marksmanship to morality. The essence of good marksmanship is self-control, and self-control is the essence of good citizenship. It is too easy to say that a good shot is automatically a good man, but it would be equally incorrect to ignore the connection.
Jeff Cooper
Without the institution of slavery, civilization would never have been achieved, for no one could ever have done anything intellectual if he had to spend all his time hewing and digging and fighting.
Jeff Cooper
One cannot legislate the maniacs off the street... these maniacs can only be shut down by an armed citizenry. Indeed bad things can happen in nations where the citizenry is armed, but not as bad as those which seem to be threatening our disarmed citizenry in this country at this time.
