Comments from Theresa Rodgers:

Dear, Jeff Cooper Legacy Foundation,
I am truly honored to have been awarded the Jeff Cooper Gunsite 250 Scholarship, which allowed me to attend the renowned Gunsite Academy 250 course. This experience has been transformative, both personally and professionally.
Over the course of the class, I honed my marksmanship skills and learned invaluable techniques in defensive shooting, all while being immersed in the legacy of Jeff Cooper. The instructors were exceptionally knowledgeable, fostering an environment that emphasized safety, skill, and confidence.
The camaraderie among fellow students was inspiring, as we all shared a passion for responsible firearms usage and personal protection. I left Gunsite not only with improved skills but also with a deeper appreciation for the principles of firearms safety and responsibility.
This scholarship has opened doors for me, and I am committed to sharing the knowledge and skills I gained with my community. Thank you to the Jeff Cooper Foundation for this incredible opportunity; it has truly been a life-changing experience!
Thank you,
Theresa

During the Korean War Jeff became involved with the training of Nationalist Chinese irregulars, some of whom were rather small and a bit intimidated at the thought of using a 45-caliber machine pistol. Here he demonstrates that two M-3 “Grease-Guns”
can be managed quite easily at once — with fair effectiveness at short range.
(Some may note that at that time Jeff had not yet promulgated Rule III.) #greasegun
