More quotes by Jeff Cooper
Any man who is a man may not, in honor, submit to threats or violence. But many men who are not cowards are simply unprepared for the fact of human savagery.
Jeff Cooper
The best personal defense is an explosive counterattack.
Jeff Cooper
The criminal does not expect his prey to fight back. May he never choose you, but, if he does, surprise him.
Jeff Cooper
The one who anticipates the action wins. The one who does not, loses.
Jeff Cooper
The essential thing is to bear always in mind that trouble can appear at any time. Be aware.Be ready.Be alert.
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
Don't try to be fancy. Shoot for the center of mass. The world is full of decent people. Criminals we can do without.
Jeff Cooper
It appears that the murder rate inside prisons is ten times higher than that outside prisons. It must be due to all those Kalashnikov rifles that are issued to prisoners upon their incarceration.
Jeff Cooper
Personal weapons are what raised mankind out of the mud, and the rifle is the queen of personal weapons.... Pick up a rifle - a really good rifle - and if you know how to use it well, you change instantly from a mouse to a man, from a peon to a caballero, and - most significantly - from a subject to a citizen.
Jeff Cooper
We thought everybody knew by now that barrel length has almost nothing to do with accuracy. I believe the myth of the superior accuracy of a long rifle dates from colonial days, when the only way to extend sight radius was to make the barrel as long as possible. It is interesting how long it takes a myth to die.

Bushido is all very well in its way, but it is no match for a 30-06.
Jeff Cooper
It seems evident that the basis for civil safety is homogeneity. A culture which is socially uniform is pretty well devoid of informal violence.
Jeff Cooper
I think the works of W.D. Gann and Robert Prechter have inspired me more than anyone else. It was from their writings that I discovered cycles, patterns, and psychology dominate the market, and that the news breaks with the cycles, not the other way around.
Jeff Cooper
Under any sort of attack, keep cool. And if you must shoot, shoot with precision.
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
Not to our surprise, we discover that gun crime in Britain is up 10.9 percent since the disarmament of the private citizen.
Jeff Cooper
Buy ammunition! Remember that a man cannot have too many books, too many wines, or too much ammunition. Our adversaries on the other side are reaching for the excuse of lead poisoning. If they can push that idea through, you may wind up still owning your guns but without anything to shoot in them.
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
Your physical safety is up to you, as it really always has been.
Jeff Cooper
Use your eyes. Do not enter unfamiliar areas that you cannot observe first. Make it a practice to swing wide around corners, use window glass for rearward visibility, and get something solid behind you when you pause.
