Everyone has his or her own theory about what gun to carry. Some people prefer semi-autos because of speed and capacity, while others favor the reliability of revolvers. As a section of society, we can’t even agree on what caliber is best for self-defense with some people believing that there are many good self-defense calibers while others think that the only round for self-defense begins with a four and ends with a five. Nothing I do will ever end this argument, but I can explain my reasoning behind what and how I carry.

Col. Jeff Cooper was a legend in the shooting and self-defense worlds. In addition to being instrumental in refining and popularizing many modern pistol and self-defense techniques, Col. Cooper was an advocate of a prepared armed citizenry. He believed that the most important survival tool was the mind, and to help prepare the mind for danger, he created the Cooper Color Code.
