Rest in peace Col. Cooper

Jeff Cooper was one of my boyhood heroes.

His proficiency with the Colt 1911 and his practical application of such inspired me to become the shooter I am today.

His wit and social commentary although sometimes brash was always a welcome respite from these weasly days of political correctness and double talk.

Thank you Mr. Cooper.

Rest in Peace.

Personal marksmanship still remains an essential attribute of any well organized man, as well as a desideratum for such ladies as are so inclined. (Besides, it is fun!)

As these unpleasant people in Iraq keep on potting American soldiers at the rate of about one a day, we have a suggestion for the local command. Let anyone caught in the possession of a rocket propelled grenade (RPG) be pigged on the spot. Not shot, just pigged. That is not even against any stipulation of the Geneva Conference, but I bet it would work. (Being "pigged" is being doused in pig viscera.) ---Jeff Cooper

To fight with the sword may be brutal, but honorable. To fight with a germ is merely disgusting.---Jeff Cooper

It has been said that if you are not a socialist by twenty, you have no heart; and if you are still a socialist at thirty, you have no head. Guru say: If you are not a curmudgeon by eighty, you have not been paying attention..---Jeff Cooper
