My name is Stephen Cooper, and I’m reaching out for help during one of the hardest times of my life.

I’m currently facing legal challenges after an incident where I acted in self-defense. Despite having my License to Carry and doing everything I could to protect myself safely and responsibly, I’m now fighting to clear my name and restore my LTC.

The legal system can be overwhelming and expensive, even when you’ve done the right thing. Every dollar raised will go directly toward my legal defense and the costs needed to restore my license to carry. My goal is not just to defend myself in court, but to make sure I can move forward, rebuild my life, and continue to stand up for responsible self-protection.

I deeply appreciate every bit of support — whether through donations or by sharing this page. Your help means more than words can say. Thank you for standing by me while I fight to make things right.
