This report is a matter of public record and no law is violated to reproduce or sell it. It USED to be available from the U.S. Government Printing Office. These copies are from a small batch of privately produced reproductions that Accurate Press acquired from another company some years ago.

They were made from a photocopy of the U.S. Senate's file copy. Some parts are a little blurry and the pages are slightly yellowed at the edges.

Every word, though, is readable. We have a few of these left and when they're gone. We have no plans to reproduce it.

This new edition of Cooper's classic Principles of Personal Defense - with a fitting tribute by firearms expert Louis Awerbuck and all-new drawings by renowned illustrator Paul Kirchner - presents his timeless theory of individual defensive behavior clearly, concisely and practically. All free people who aspire to stay that way should read, study and share the wisdom found within these pages. Considered by many to be one of the greatest books on combat mindset and proper defensive mental conditioning ever written, it deserves a place of honor in every library. The late Jeff Cooper was one of the true pioneers of weaponcraft in the US. His numerous accomplishments include founder of Gunsite Ranch, editor at large of Guns & Ammo magazine, winner of the Outstanding American Handgunner award in 1995, Rangemaster Emeritus of the US Practical Shooting Assn. and long-time member of the board of directors of the National Rifle Assn.

Kevin has been teaching, writing about, and practicing this area of law since 1983. He helped to write Missouri's concealed carry licensing law. He also served in the military. His Special Forces training gives him a unique perspective on use of force most lawyers do not have.

"A great deal of attention is paid to the dynamics of self defense. One cannot understand the law of self-defense without a firm grounding in the psychological, physiological, and practical sides of self-defense."
