I found this video on YouTube a few days ago.
It's an hour long "Lecture by Jeff Cooper given to the 15th Annual Meeting of the Doctors for Disaster Preparedness held in San Diego, California." It's worth watching and so valuable I'm posting it here in the Training Forum.

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles." —Jeff Cooper, The Art of the Rifle God Bless Colonel Jeff Cooper. |

That is a great lecture. Some very good points were made with the Q&A too. It is hard to believe that was said 14 years ago. A lot of that video still applies today. Indeed, a troubling trend is occurring, one with which we should all be aware of. I very quickly understood what he was getting at.
A most excellent find.... Jeremy |

Another old video of Jeff Cooper was recently posted on YouTube. This one is a news story from the late 1970's. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iz6gYgqf8eI  |

I know that this is an older thread, but watching these couple of videos, really hit a spot with me in that truth from the 70's is still very much truth today. I've shared the first video with many people in the last few years, but the second video, I watched for the first time today. I also put it in my favorites folder. Thanks.
