What would you do if a drive by shooting ripped through your neighborhood? Are you prepared to respond? Can you protect yourself? Can you protect your family? In 1988, Dr. Ignatius Piazza had to answer these questions. And, like many Americans, he had to say he was not ready. Ignatius Piazza was a family man, a chiropractor and a normal, law abiding citizen. He worked hard at his business and always strove to be the best, but there was one area that was lacking and he wasn’t even aware of it until that car sped down his street, spitting bullets in every direction. He knew how to shoot a gun pretty well, but he was not prepared to use one to save someone’s life. Many of us share this quality. We have shot guns before. Maybe we have gone to a shooting range. Maybe we have gone to the desert with our friends and shot clay pigeons and empty cans. But how many of us know how to use that gun to save a life?
On that fateful night, Dr. Ignatius Piazza made a decision that would not only change his life forever, but would undoubtedly change the lives of millions of people around the world. Day in and day out, he searched for and found gun training from the top gun training schools in the country. But he always had to keep looking for new gun training schools because each one only excelled in one or two areas. He wanted to find a place that would excel in all areas of the gun world. Ignatius Piazza figured that if he was on a quest for this kind of gun training, there must have been more people out there like him. His new idea was to make the search easier for other people, and give them a place that provides the best gun training of every kind, all in one place.
Thus, Front Sight Firearms Training Institute was born, but not before Ignatius Piazza trained hard enough to become a Four Weapons Combat Master. He knew that only the best could give the best. He could not be only okay at shooting if he wanted to provide the best gun training in the world. So, Ignatius Piazza worked diligently at becoming the best, and now he stands the second man in the world to receive a Four Weapons Combat Master Certificate.
Front Sight opened its doors in 1996 and today it is known as the unsurpassed leader in the gun training world, thanks to the severe dedication of one man, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, and the passion of his team of employees.
