scared of jeff cooper ? lol

Post by LedJedi »

This is an email exchange between me and a guy who's interested in buying a computer monitor i'm selling on craigslist. I thought you guys would get a kick out of it. His first response is below.
If still available, I'd be interested in one of these LCD.

Probably Friday pickup.

My phone is: xxx-xxx-xxxx

Thanks

John
My response with my email signature line. The standard sig i put on everything.
I believe we have plans friday. We might be available saturday. i'll have to give you a call. If we find a buyer before then we'll go with that.

The police cannot protect you in your home. If goblins break in upon you the police should be called - as soon as you get around to it - in order to write out reports and clean up the mess. But the goblins are your problem. Bear that always in mind.

His response:
James,

from what I can tell by your use of a quote by Jeff Cooper - I'd rather keep as far away from you as possible.

Please don't phone me.

My response:
LOL, no problem.

you realize jeff cooper is a decorated national hero and universally recognized as one of the fathers of modern self defense tactics?

The quote I use reflects his attitude of being responsible for your own safety and that of your own family as a personal responsibility, not the responsibility of the state. Government cannot protect you in your home. You are ultimately responsible for your own safety. Can i ask what exactly scares you about that?

To use a modern phrase, "The reason I carry a gun is because I can't carry a cop."

Just wanted to make sure you understood the meaning of the quote. It's often misinterpreted. I have nothing but the highest respect for police officers. In fact, if I could support my family on that salary I'd probably be one myself.

If guns themselves are the issue I'm more than happy to meet you at a gun range and let you shoot a variety of weapons. I'll pay for the whole shebang. The best way to lose your fear of something is to come to understand it.

Funny how he was immediately put off by the truth (unless he though you were the goblin)
