Jeff Cooper - A great one has left us...

...but he has left behind works and deeds that will memorialize him for a long time to come. I am speaking of the passing of firearms master John Dean 'Jeff' Cooper. Besides being one of the most well known personalities in the world of shooting, Mr. Cooper was an NRA member and one time NRA board member, a writer for guns & Ammo Magazine, a writer of several books, an avid hunter, sports car enthusiast, a one time history teacher, a husband, a father, and a retired Marine who served in WWII and Korea.

If you want to learn a little bit more about his bio, see The Daily Courier article at:

He taught an awful lot of people an awful lot about firearms and how to shoot them to defend themselves. He did one heck of a good job at it too. He will be missed.

My condolences to his family and friends, and to the community of law abiding gun owners who learned from him, and who will miss him.

With sadness,
Glenn B
