For hardcore gun lovers, this ‘personal defense’ book from the 1970s is both bible and manual

If Colonel Cooper wrote it, it's the bible. Time won't change that.

The longer I'm alive, the more I believe there's no such thing as "one" combative philosophy. However, I think any such mindset includes aggression, repetition, and honing of the mind/body/soul to meet with and or do harm according to that individual's personal strengths and weaknesses. For me, there's a tightrope one walks between being a complete human being... or becoming a- well, you know.

I don't think being "all in" will help you much in a fight if your attacker outweighs you by fifty pounds and you don't train. Neither do I think the question of whether or not something is "ethical" matters much when facing life and death (I generally concede that if I am unable to avoid that struggle, then I must be in the "right").
