Jeff Cooper Quotes
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.
Owning a handgun doesn't make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician.
Remember the first rule of gunfighting... "have a gun."
The police cannot protect the citizen at this stage of our development, and they cannot even protect themselves in many cases. It is up to the private citizen to protect himself and his family, and this is not only acceptable, but mandatory.
The will to survive is not as important as the will to prevail... the answer to criminal aggression is retaliation.
We continue to be exasperated by the view, apparently gaining momentum in certain circles, that armed robbery is okay as long as nobody gets hurt!
The proper solution to armed robbery is a dead robber, on the scene.
"The 1911 pistol remains the service pistol of choice in the eyes of those who understand the problem. Back when we audited the FBI academy in 1947, I was told that I ought not to use my pistol in their training program because it was not fair. Maybe the first thing one should demand of his sidearm is that it be unfair."
"Blessed is HE who in the face of death thinks ONLY of the Front Sight!"
"We refuse to consider "WEAPON" a bad word. We were raised to believe that among God's greatest gifts to man are the contemplation of good books, fast cars, beautiful women, real music, great wines and fine weapons."
"As long as one doesn't get into a fight, a nine is fine."
"Peril, not variety is the Spice of life. Cowardice, not cupidity, is the root of all evil."
"One difference between a LIBERAL and a pickpocket is that if you demand your money back from a pickpocket, he will not question your motives!"
"The M16 was designed because the genes of Sergeant York died out. Not only is the average American unable to shoot straight, he won't shoot at all unless the target is close. So we had to develop a spray gun."
"Life is hoplessly complex for people who have no principles."
"Traveling unarmed is like boating without a lifejacket."
"Safety is nice, but it's not first. Life is first and life is not safe."
"Do you care about freedom? Dreams may have inspired it, and wishes prompted it, but only war and weapons have made it yours."
"The ability to cope with the unforeseen is the measure of a man."
"In war, peace in itself is not an acceptable goal. If you want peace, you should not go to war."
"Carrying a double action 9mm automatic pistol for protection is like playing golf with a tennis racquet. You can do it, but why should you?"
Heroes are people who do what has to be done, when it has to be done, regardless of the consequences
"I like when the enemy shoots at me; then I know where the ******** are and can kill them." ~George Patton
