There ain't many troubles that a man caint fix With seven hundred dollars and a thirty ought six.
Jeff Cooper
The perfect fight is one that is over before the loser really understands what is going on. The perfect defense is a counterattack that succeeds before the assailant discovers that he has bitten off more than he can chew.

Jeff Cooper
A smart man only believes half of what he hears, a wise man knows which half.
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
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.

Anyone who appears to be triggered out of watchfulness and into action by your appearance must be explained. Anyone observing you carefully must be explained. Anyone whose behavior seems to be geared to yours must be explained. If the explanation does not satisfy you, be ready to take appropriate defensive action.

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
If you must use your hands, use them with all the strength you possess... If you choose to strike, by all means strike hard.
Jeff Cooper
'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
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 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.
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
Safety is something that happens between your ears, not something you hold in your hands.
Jeff Cooper
Anyone who willfully and maliciously attacks another without sufficient cause jeopardize the lives of others.
Jeff Cooper
Remember the first rule of gunfighting ... have a gun.
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.
