More quotes by Jeff Cooper
Anger, as long as it is controlled anger, is no obstacle to efficiency. Self-control is one thing the sociopath does not usually possess. Use yours to his undoing.
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
By doing what our assailant least expects us to do, we may throw him completely off. ... what he usually least suspects is instant, violent counterattack, so the principle of aggressiveness is closely tied to threat of surprise.
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
Not long ago it was easy to tell who the bad guys were. They carried Kalashnikovs. Now it is much more complicated, but one thing is sure - any man who covers his face and packs a gun is a legitimate target for any decent citizen.
Jeff Cooper
When under attack, it is necessary to evaluate the situation and to decide instantly upon a proper course of action, to be carried out immediately with all the force you can bring to bear. He who hesitates is indeed lost. Do not soliloquize. Do not delay. Be decisive.
Jeff Cooper
Let us remind ourselves again that the Second Amendment of the US Constitution should be referred to as the Statute of Liberty.
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
There ain't many troubles that a man caint fix With seven hundred dollars and a thirty ought six.
Jeff Cooper
If a felon attacks you and lives, he will reasonably conclude that he can do it again. By submitting to him, you not only imperil your own life, but you jeopardize the lives of others.
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
Safety is something that happens between your ears, not something you hold in your hands.
Jeff Cooper
Under any sort of attack, keep cool. And if you must shoot, shoot with precision.
Jeff Cooper
Fight back! Whenever you are offered violence, fight back! The aggressor does not fear the law, so he must be taught to fear you. Whatever the risk, and at whatever the cost, fight back!
Jeff Cooper
According to Herodotus, the ancient Persians felt that what was necessary in the background of a young man entering adulthood was his ability to ride, shoot straight, and speak the truth. Perhaps we should now grant our college degrees to young men who measure up to that standard.
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
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
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
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
Remember the first rule of gunfighting ... have a gun.
