Front Sight Grieves For Chelsea King

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

Driving home from work today, chills flooded my body. Blue balloons – the color of her eyes – showing the letters “CK” enclosed in hearts were tied to the trees lining the street. Her photo was pinned on several of the trees and the word “MISSING” pierced my eyes. There is not a parent – or any citizen, for that matter – in this town that I know of that is not mortified by her story. Headlines on television, in the radio and all over the Internet spread remorse. Her smiling face is plastered on walls, on light poles and in parking lots. Who is this girl? Seventeen year old Chelsea King went out for a run at three o’clock on a Thursday afternoon in a community park, located less than five minutes from my office, in the upscale city of Rancho Bernardo. Safe place, safe time to be out, right? I go outside by myself all the time.

She was a cross country runner. She should have been able to outrun the 30 year old, 240 or so pound man, John Albert Gardner, III. You would think that someone in the busy park would have seen the commotion. But today, the search for her body finally ended, leaving San Diego County with solemn hearts. Sometimes, even in a crowd, perpetrators can keep their attacks secretive, and their victims are left to fend for themselves. The news keeps referring to Gardner as a “registered sex offender.” What the news has not been telling people is that he is registered in Riverside County, about thirty to forty five minutes north of where he was actually living in San Diego County. Scary, right? Again, you never know who is living next door to you or who is walking down the cheese aisle next to you at the grocery store.

I mentioned that self defense training, like the teen self defense training and teen gun training offered at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, could have helped Chelsea King and was greeted with the response that there was no way she could have fought him off; that he was just too big and strong. Yet, he attacked another jogger on December 27, 2009 who was able to defend herself and escape. It does not matter what your attacker’s size is. You can get away. Parents, please read this carefully. Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, founder and director of Front Sight, offers child safety training, youth safety training and gun training for teens. These are self defense training courses for your children that could possibly save their lives. Front Sight’s gun training and self defense training courses teach you how to defend yourself no matter what your size and strength is relative to your attacker. Ignatius Piazza has taught those thought to be weak, feeble and even disabled to protect themselves against very strong people. Can you imagine how Chelsea’s parents must feel right now? Don’t put yourself through this. One call to Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight and you can have your child enrolled in a self defense training course that will change them forever. If she is alive, she will have to live with these haunting memories for the rest of her life. Safety training at Front Sight or teen gun training with Ignatius Piazza can increase your child’s chances of NEVER having to go through this. Front Sight cares about your children and their safety. Chelsea King’s story is absolutely heart wrenching. Let’s work together with Ignatius Piazza and Front Sight and bring an end to stories like hers.

Get Serious About Self Defense

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

When it comes time for you to get some serious self defense skills, Front Sight Firearms Training Institute near Las Vegas, Nevada is the best bet. Called Front Sight for short, Front Sight Firearms Training Institute was started in April of 1996 and has now grown to be the number one gun training school in the world. Why? Front Sight has become the best place in the world to receive gun training for more than one reason. First, the obvious: Front Sight provides the best quality gun training that money can buy. The well rounded gun training program teaches students everything they need to know about gun training. Each gun training course concentrates first and foremost on gun safety and also covers things like proper shooting stance, how to hit moving targets and how to disarm multiple attackers. Front Sight’s intense gun training programs are geared toward students of all levels, from beginners to beyond advanced, so anyone can gain from attending a course.

Developed by Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, Front Sight caters to the differences of people. Not everyone wants to learn about the same type of gun, which is why Ignatius Piazza designed gun training courses for handgun training, automatic weapons training, rifle training and shotgun training. If students want to further their gun training education, continuation courses like night gun training and CCW Permit training are also added to Front Sight’s menu of courses. The staff at Front Sight goes above and beyond the call of duty and provide not only excellent customer service, but also a family atmosphere to make Ignatius Piazza’s students feel safe, comfortable and accepted. Carefully selected, Ignatius Piazza’s executive assistants are knowledgeable in every area of gun training, helpful, extremely friendly and answer questions quickly and completely. No student, prospective student, friend of a Front Sight student or random caller are treated poorly, negligently or are unsuccessful in their search for answers. Ignatius Piazza’s team of gun training instructors provide high quality gun training with no boot camp like attitudes. Front Sight instructors are very adamant about gun safety and not goofing off, but they teach in a way that is kindhearted, nonjudgmental and encouraging. Students are challenged but provided with a very safe and fun environment.

Front Sight has a way with students. Whether the student is excited and ready to jump into gun training or completely apprehensive, Ignatius Piazza and the Front Sight staff provide the best possible state for that student. The well designed gun training program and highly trained staff are great with newcomers and seasoned patrons, alike. It is a place where people who have never seen a gun in real life can bond with people who have used guns for their entire lives and not be judged.

It is for reasons like these that Ignatius Piazza can say that Front Sight has at least doubled every year since its opening almost fourteen years ago. When the word of Front Sight gets out, there is literally no stopping it.

Front Sight – It’s in the Details

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

I read a story about a sculpture from the Orient. Beautifully crafted, it was a carving of a woman donning a headdress. On top of the headdress was a ball, carved in a flawless manner with an extremely intricate, lacy design. One look at the ball and one may think, “Oh, how pretty!” But looking more closely, one sees that inside that ball is another sphere, just as intricately designed as the first. Looking further, inside the second sphere is another, and again, every bit as flawless and intense. No one knows how many spheres are inside this sculpture, because they keep going, until you can no longer see through the carved holes to reveal another complex carving. The truly impressive thing about this sculpture is that it was created over a hundred years ago and was hand carved from a solitary piece of ivory. The artist did not have to put such attention to detail on the smaller orbs because they could easily be covered by the outer ones. Yet he persisted and the result was a perfect, irreplaceable and absolutely breathtaking piece of art. He knew that it is not just the outside that counts, but everything that goes into the sculpture. So what is my point? My point is to say that Front Sight Firearms Training Institute demonstrates similar values as the artist from the Orient. Founder and director, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, fully understands that it is not just what people see that matters, but everything that goes into the entire company.

As students of Front Sight, we see the obvious things, like the amazing handgun training, rifle training, automatic weapons training and shotgun training. We see the additional gun training courses offered at Front Sight, like night gun training, gun training for women and teen gun training. We see that Ignatius Piazza puts extra effort into his gun training program by providing personalized gun training. We see the caliber of the Front Sight gun training instructors and recognize that they are literally second to none. We see the friendly and caring attitudes of the entire Front Sight staff. However, we do not see the things that go on behind the scenes that assist in making Front Sight the number one gun training school in the world. Things like how Ignatius Piazza treats his staff, how he spends countless hours perfecting every minor detail in his curriculum, how the gun training instructors participate in ongoing firearms training and customer service training so that their skills never waver, and how even Ignatius Piazza himself continues to study and learn the most cutting edge gun training ideas and techniques.  When shortcuts are taken behind the scenes, it spills over into what the audience sees and ends up disappointing. Front Sight Firearms Training Institute takes no shortcuts, even when it seems like “no one will ever know” or short term benefits can be achieved. Ignatius Piazza pours every bit of himself into this gun training school, putting work into the stuff that we see AND the stuff we will never see. When attention is in the details, it shows.

Front Sight on the Phone

Friday, March 19th, 2010

There are okay companies. There are good companies. And then there are companies that just astound you in every possible way. Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, the gun training school near Las Vegas, Nevada, is definitely one of those places that fits in the third category. A lot of companies have a great product that is worth the investment, but when it comes to something like their customer service, consumers are pulled away or left feeling unfulfilled. At Front Sight, everything down to the small details is carefully planned and perfected, so that you, as a customer or student, can be enthusiastically satisfied with your total experience, not just one or two parts of it.

Dr. Ignatius Piazza, founder and director of Front Sight, created an exceptional product. He offers top quality gun training courses at affordable prices, so students can learn how to use a gun for self defense, how to protect their families and loved ones and how to escape life threatening situations in the quickest possible manner. Ignatius Piazza also teaches more intensive gun training courses like combat gun training and competitive gun training, so that people that are familiar with guns can further their gun handling skills and really be ready for anything. But besides having the best shotgun training, rifle training, automatic weapons training, handgun training and night gun training courses in the whole world, Front Sight also offers something that many gun training schools out there just do not: a staff that actually tries hard AND cares.

You may hear it a lot. Such and such company has awesome customer service! But do you ever truly believe it until you either see it for yourself or hear real life examples of why they are so wonderful? Let me tell you my first Front Sight staff experience, and then maybe you, as a reader, will begin to understand one of the reasons I love and support Front Sight Firearms Training Institute so much. I had a question regarding something about gun training at Front Sight, so I called. The phone rang ONCE before it was pleasantly answered. The first thing I noticed about Front Sight? I didn’t have to wait while the phone rang seventeen times, and I didn’t have to leave a message. Anyway, the man on the phone was able to immediately put me at ease and feel like I was a long time customer, just in the way he talked. He answered my question thoroughly and easily, and then we hung up. I had another question for the Front Sight guy, so I called back. Let me tell you, Ignatius Piazza really knows how to pick his staff. Again, the man on the other end of the phone was intelligent and responsive. We hung up. I think this process happened two or three more times, because I was definitely that annoying person that kept having questions and concerns, yet every time, the Front Sight guy wowed me with his knowledgeable answers and calming tone of voice. It was obvious he loved working for Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight.

Now let me ask you this. If I had had a poor experience with the guy on the phone, the first voice of Front Sight I had ever heard, would I have the same view of the gun training school overall? Nope. As customers, we know that it is more than just the product that counts. At Front Sight, everything matters, even the small stuff.

Gun Training From Ignatius Piazza – The Better Choice

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

You have come to the conclusion that you should learn self defense. You know it is always a great thing to feel and be safe, right? Right. But what should you do about it? Where do you start? The local adult school near your house offers martial arts for beginners. But who teaches it? Probably some guy who knows a little bit about a few forms of self defense and can probably win in a one on one altercation, but does he know how to disarm and disable a gang of oncoming attackers in a quick and swift manner? There is a school for Karate down the street from your house. But do you really want to take a self defense training course amidst a bunch of ten year olds? And how much do you actually learn in one class? Maybe a move or two, but after attending one class, would you be able to defend yourself from an attack? Your neighbor says he knows how to shoot a gun and can teach you. But is he a Four Weapons Combat Master? Can he draw his gun, aim, shoot and HIT his moving target in less than two seconds? Now you are back at square one. Where do you go from here? Don’t you wish someone would just tell you something life changing so you don’t have to keep searching unsuccessfully?

Actually, now that you are reading this, you have already safely made it to square two. This is the article that you have been hoping to find. I have found a self defense training school that will teach you anything and everything that you need and want to know about self defense training. They have every kind of self defense training you can want: all kind of gun training, including rifle training, shotgun training, automatic weapons training and handgun training; other weapons training such as knife training; empty hands self defense training; and specialty self defense training courses such as gun training for women and night gun training. It is, hands down, the best gun training and self defense training you can find, and you don’t have to share your classroom with a bunch of people one fourth your age. (There are separate child safety training and youth safety training courses!) Not only that, but after you leave your first self defense gun training course, you will have gun handling techniques that surpass ninety nine percent of the gun owning population. One reason for this is that the gun training school, called Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, is headed up by a real Four Weapons Combat Master – yeah, one of the handful of men in the world who can actually say they passed that excruciating exam runs Front Sight! Dr. Ignatius Piazza is the man who has your answers. He, at this moment, has a great gun training offer for you if you really want to change your life for the better. Just check out Front Sight’s website or give one of Ignatius Piazza’s executive assistants a call and you will be at square three. Then all you need to do is attend your amazing gun training course or self defense training course with Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight and you will never again be back at square one.

Self Defense Training For the Whole Family!

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

You finally decide that you want to go somewhere for the weekend with your spouse. The choices are endless. You can go somewhere relaxing, where you never have to have responsibility. You can go somewhere and party the night away. You can go somewhere scenic. Or you can go somewhere to have fun and better yourself at the same time. “Better myself how?” you might be asking. Does improving your self confidence and your safety level sound like something interesting to you? Does being able to protect your spouse and your kids in any situation sound like a smart idea?

Can’t find something to do with your kids while you are away? Don’t want to leave them with their grandparents or your siblings? This is totally an understandable situation. At Front Sight, this is not even a problem! Ignatius Piazza thought ahead for you. He created three specific courses that you will benefit from in this case.

Front Sight – Protect Yourself – Anytime, Anywhere

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

Shootings happen everywhere. When you think about it, no particular place is exempt from being the stage for a deadly shootout. All though the world has many caring and generous people in it, so many people nowadays are selfish, angry, depressed or have some other negative emotion floating around inside of them. People want money. People want cars. People want jewelry. What if these people want yours? Can you stop them?

Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, the gun training school near Las Vegas, Nevada, will teach you everything you need to know about not being a victim. Say you are at the ATM pulling out some cash. A man sneaks up behind you and holds a gun to your lower back. Do you know what do you do? You’re walking from the movie theater to your car with your family. A masked gunman grabs hold of your kid. Are you able to save your child? You are away on business and your wife is home alone. She is awakened by someone rummaging through her dresser. Can she protect herself and her belongings? These questions can all be answered in a positive way if you and your family have attended a self defense gun training course at Front Sight. Dr. Ignatius Piazza, the founder and director of Front Sight, provides professional, high quality and fun gun training courses that will teach you and your family exactly how to handle each of these situations and others like them.

Gun Training – Save Lives; Look Awesome

Monday, March 15th, 2010

Everyone wants to be set apart from the rest of the crowd. People often learn special skills to up their social stature or to impress certain people. Take a typical group of friends and you usually have at least of of each of these: the artist, the musician, the athlete, the Jeopardy whiz, the guy who can make anyone laugh. Sure, all these skills are great to have, but how many of them can actually change someone’s life, unless they go professional? Even more so, how many of these skills can actually save a life? Maybe in movies the Jeopardy guy can get out of a robbery by outsmarting the burglar, or the the joker can say something witty that will put his attacker at bay, but do these things really happen in real life? Sadly, no. Well, at least very, very rarely. So what is a skill to have that is fun, interesting, will impress people AND can help you save lives? Set yourself apart from everyone else in your own special way by getting amazing gun training from Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute in Nevada. What? Gun training? Why?

There are a few reasons why gun training is a good idea. First, using a gun is a great form of self defense. Proper gun training, like the gun training offered at Front Sight, provides safety and security, as well as a sense of confidence and well being. Criminals do not typically like to attack people who have a gun and have had gun training because their chances of success are greatly reduced. When paired with a Concealed Carry Weapons Permit, you will be prepared at all times to protect yourself from any life threatening attack, no matter where you are. When you have your weapon on your person, there is no running to the other room to get it when a burglar enters your house. A mugger is not going to wait while you jet over to your car to grab your gun. You will have it on you, right then. In less than two seconds, you can have your gun out and ready for action. Ignatius Piazza’s gun training school offers superior gun training AND a CCW Permit course that will knock your boots off! Also, Front Sight’s gun training will protect your loved ones. You will be able to offer family protection and keep your friends safe from attacks. For example, if someone were to attack your wife, with your gun training experience at Front Sight, you will be able to help her escape safely. Literally, no criminal will stand a chance against you after you take a self defense gun training course at Front Sight with Ignatius Piazza!

These reasons alone can set you apart from the rest of the world. But here is the added bonus that comes along with gun training from Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight. Just think of the look on your friends faces when you casually mention going shooting at the range and then hit the bullseye – every time. So, here’s to saving lives AND looking awesome while you’re at it!

Where You Are Today Can Change By Monday!

Friday, March 12th, 2010

The Front Sight team of instructors is among the best in the world, providing excellent gun training to students and ensuring the greatest progress. Ignatius Piazza’s gun training program is supported by people with every amount of past gun training, from purely beginners to gun shooting professionals, and everyone in between. James R.

Afraid of Guns? Get Gun Training!

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Are you afraid of guns? I have found the place for you to help you not only overcome that fear, but gain the skills and the confidence to actually effectively handle a gun! Sound impossible? It is not! There have been people that have attended this place who have been so afraid of guns that they have actually thrown up, but by the end of their first day of this gun training program, they were comfortable. By the end of the weekend gun training course, they were better shooters than they would have ever thought possible, increasing their confidence and safety level. Those who have completed this gun training course have agreed that there are few greater things than the security that comes from skill at arms. Being able to use a gun for self defense and being able to carry a weapon concealed at all times raises your chances of escaping a life threatening situation, such as a robbery, mugging, car jacking or rape. Men with gun training experience are able to protect their families at home and out on the streets. Women with gun training experience can protect themselves from overpowering male attackers, so they never have to feel the torment of rape. Single mothers can protect their children. Teens can protect their parents and themselves. This gun training school even offers child safety and youth safety courses, so that they can protect themselves from predators, and prepare themselves for when they are old enough to attend a gun training class. The benefits of outstanding gun training are countless, and this is the best place to get that training.

The place I am speaking of is called Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, and it is founded and directed by Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza. Located on a huge plot of land just outside of Las Vegas, Nevada, Front Sight brings amazing gun training to students at every skill level, helping them secure themselves the comfort and security of skill at arms, so that they never have to be afraid of attackers again. Attackers on the street won’t know what is coming at them when you use the techniques taught by Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight, and your chances of survival (and keeping all of your personal belongings) will greatly improve. Jerks that try to rob your house will be unsuccessful in their attempts as you protect your home and your family from their failed actions.

As mentioned earlier, Front Sight offers gun training courses for students of all skill levels. Ignatius Piazza has beginning gun training courses, gun training for advanced shooters and even competitive shooting courses for those who want to take their gun training to the next level. No matter what kind of gun you want to own, whether it be a shotgun, rifle, handgun or some kind of automatic weapon, Front Sight has a gun training course for you.

Front Sight can help you gain confidence and comfort with guns, teaching you how to safely use a gun for self defense. No matter how afraid of guns you currently are, Front Sight can help you.
