More quotes by Jeff Cooper
Bushido is all very well in its way, but it is no match for a 30-06.
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
If it is ever your misfortune to be attacked, alertness will have given you a little warning, decisiveness will have given you a proper course to pursue, and if that course is to counterattack, carry it out with everything you've got! Be indignant. Be angry. Be aggressive.
Jeff Cooper
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

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.
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
The essential thing is to bear always in mind that trouble can appear at any time. Be aware.Be ready.Be alert.
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
An unarmed man can only flee from evil, and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it.
Jeff Cooper
Aggressiveness carries with it an incalculable moral edge in any combat, offensive or defensive.
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
Speed is the absolute essence of any form of combat
Jeff Cooper
Safety is something that happens between your ears, not something you hold in your hands.
Jeff Cooper
The criminal does not expect his prey to fight back. May he never choose you, but, if he does, surprise him.
