    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

    Our Mission:

    Our purpose is to promote and perpetuate the teachings and philosophy of Jeff Cooper, with special emphasis on the proper techniques for the use of small arms, the importance of self-reliance and the individual right and duty of self-defense.

    The Foundation awards scholarships for training and education in the Cooper tradition.   In addition, it preserves, archives and maintains  Colonel Cooper’s writings and personal collections so that they may provide study and learning opportunities and inspiration for generations to come.

    Random Quote:

    “It appears that the murder rate inside prisons is ten times higher than that outside prisons. It must be due to all those Kalashnikov rifles that are issued to prisoners upon their incarceration.”
