In South Africa, it is severely difficult to obtain a gun. Applicants that would like to own a gun need to pass a competency test, a background check, an inspection of their homes and the police need to license the weapon, among other things that factor into the application process. The waiting period is usually longer than two years, and many people are denied arbitrarily. The BGOASA (an association of gun-owners in South Africa) was disappointed to report that about 2% of applicants were successful in obtaining a firearms. In addition, in three years (2006-2009) the police of South Africa reported a loss of 8,286 firearms, many of which were stolen.
Austria has much less strict gun control laws. There are some guns that the government restricts, but for the most part, citizens can get a gun somewhat easily. There are guns that require permission through licensing and some guns that require registration, while there are some guns that do not require registration at all. Most guns can be obtained by any citizen that is 18 years of age or older.
Which country do you think has a lower murder rate?
South Africa, with its very strict gun control laws, has been reported as one of the countries with the highest murder rates in the world, while Austria has been reported as one of the lowest murder rates.
Interesting.
It just goes to show that gun control does not equal less murder.
Founder and director of Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, is a believer in this concept. Gun control is not going to help us. In the case of South Africa, the criminals that wanted guns stole them from the police. Where does that leave us law abiding citizens if the criminals have the guns and we do not? “Great… the guy that just broke into my house and is holding my wife has a gun. And I have this handy dandy bat that I can swing at him from across the room while he shoots me?”
Our Founding Fathers seemed to have it in their minds that owning a gun for self defense was important enough to list it as the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. We, as Americans, have a duty to uphold that right by not taking advantage of the situation, and by being SMART and SAFE about it. If we choose to practice our Second Amendment Right to keep and bear arms, we owe it to ourselves, our loved ones and our Founding Fathers to know how to safely handle that firearm. Ignatius Piazza, a Four Weapons Combat Master, can help us be smart and safe about gun ownership by giving us the best gun training money can buy at his gun training school, Front Sight Firearms Training Institute.
Guns can be efficient tools of self defense… if they are handled properly and used correctly. Please do not choose to own a gun just because it is a “right.” As Uncle Ben so famously stated, “With great power comes great responsibility.” If you want to own a gun, please get gun training and learn how to use that gun safely. Come to Front Sight and secure yourself that gun training.

Say someone were to break into your house. What thought would you rather have in your head:
1. I don’t know what to do… I have never been in this situation before! Or
2. Ah, I remember what to do here… I was trained on how to handle this situation in my gun training course!
When I went to massage school, we learned all techniques by giving and getting massages. That way, we learned by performing each technique and also experiencing it. Many professions learn in similar ways. Doctors, for example, perform exams on each other before working on actual patients. What else do people learn with hands on training? My driver’s education class included a behind the wheel segment, where a certified instructor assisted me as I drove through cities and neighborhoods. Would you get in the car with someone who had never been behind the wheel? Even moreso, would you go to a doctor that had never seen another patient? Likewise, if you were in a life threatening situation, would you want to trust someone with your life if they were completely new to the scenario? You shouldn’t have to… and, just the same, you should not have to ask people to rely on you if you don’t have the experience, either.
Front Sight Firearms Training Institute in Pahrump, Nevada offers more than just the typical gun training. Founder and director, Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, had it in his mind when creating Front Sight that he wanted to offer real life gun training… meaning he wanted to train people to use a gun for self defense in real life, life threatening situations. Ignatius Piazza’s gun training program uses scenario based training so that students can be better prepared should they ever have to use their gun training skills in real life to protect themselves or a loved one.
At Front Sight, you will learn by hearing lectures, watching demonstrations and getting down and dirty in the exciting, hands on gun training. Not only will you be shooting hundreds of bullets during your Front Sight gun training course, you will learn how to shoot accurately under a time crunch, how to diagnose and clear malfunctions of your gun, how to handle multiple adversaries at once and how to handle a home invasion scenario (to name only a few things you will be doing at Front Sight), all by actually experiencing the situations, not just talking about them or watching someone go through them. Of course, Ignatius Piazza ensures you that all of the Front Sight gun training is under SAFE and CONTROLLED circumstances, so you do not have to worry.
There are many reasons that Front Sight Firearms Training Institute is the best gun training school in the industry today. Providing these real life gun training lessons is just one part of what makes Front Sight so amazing. Come join them today and see just how much you can get out of your gun training. Be that person that people trust to protect their lives. Get your gun training at Front Sight.

If a business at least doubles in size every year, you might start to think that it may be a pretty good business, right? If a company does that well, they have got to have a great product. How often do you hear of a business like that? Not very often, and especially not in this economy.
Many businesses double in size every several years or so, but it is a very rare and special thing when one does it EVERY year, especially when “every” means they have done it every year for fifteen years straight. That is just downright incredible.
Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, a gun training school located about an hour outside of Las Vegas, Nevada has done just that. It keeps growing, despite the declining economy. That is because founder and director, Four Weapons Combat Master and former chiropractor, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, has focused all of his efforts on helping people achieve their self defense and safety goals. Ignatius Piazza wants to spread the word about gun safety and make the world a better and safer place by providing top quality gun training to as many students as possible. Front Sight has already changed the lives of millions of people, myself included, and is on track to change the lives of millions more.
The gun training provided at Front Sight is challenged in quality by no other firearms training school out there today. Front Sight has better ratings and does more business than all of the other gun training schools out there… combined. That is because Ignatius Piazza’s gun training program is well thought out, planned and manicured to absolute perfection. His top notch gun training curriculum teaches students everything that they need to know about gun training and gun safety, from how to hold a gun correctly… to how to hit the bullseye of your target every single time… to how to present your weapon from a concealed holster, aim, shoot and hit your target in 1.5 seconds. Combine that with his highly trained, professional gun training instructors and his knowledgeable, patient and friendly staff members, and you have got the makings of a business that can beat all.
Front Sight is the most effective gun training school available. It has been said, quoted and printed that even military personnel have raved about Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, stating that they learned more in four days at Front Sight than they did in over twenty years in the military. The way the various gun training programs are put together create an environment where information is easily absorbed and retained, while students still have a great time and feel at ease.
It may seem hard to believe by reading a few statistics here and there, but I promise you, when you attend your first gun training course from Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, you will have no question in your mind as to why it has at least doubled in size every year since its opening in 1996.

Would it be enough to learn how to drive without learning how to change lanes safely? Would it be enough to learn how to cook without learning how to hold a knife properly? Would it be enough to learn how to swim without learning how to tread water?
Each of those listed things may seem trivial, but without them, results could be disastrous. It is odd to think that even everyday tasks and hobbies like these can have such negative outcomes if not handled correctly. So why do gun training schools leave things out of their training? I tell you, if I am not willing to cook without knowing how to safely use a kitchen knife, I sure as heck do not want to handle a gun without the most complete gun training possible.
I have said it before and will likely say it again. Guns in untrained or not properly trained hands are dangerous, but guns in the hands of someone who has had well rounded gun training can be great tools of self defense and safety. Front Sight Firearms Training Institute offers the most complete gun training you can find in the world today, teaching students everything they could possibly ever want to know about gun safety and gun training.
Don’t I just need to learn how to pull a trigger and aim at things if I want gun training?
From what I learned at Front Sight, the way you press the trigger has a huge impact as to where your bullets will hit. Founder and director, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, has diagnosed and fixed hundreds of thousands of shooters, including myself, finding that they were simply mashing the trigger. A slight adjustment in the way the trigger is touched and there you go. Your aim will be better. Most other gun training schools won’t teach that. Front Sight will.
What happens if you are in a gun fight with an attacker and your gun malfunctions? It is not going to take your opponent long to realize that your gun is no longer shooting. Throughout Ignatius Piazza’s gun training courses at Front Sight, you will learn how to safely and speedily diagnose and cure gun malfunctions so that you can remain in the fight and not on the floor. You will be able to clear a gun malfunction before your opponent realized what has happened, all without taking your gaze off of your attacker. Most other gun training schools won’t teach that. Front Sight will.
Most attacks happen at night when visibility is low. If you don’t know how to shoot in little to no lighting, how good are your chances of escape? If you happen to have a flashlight and you leave it on a second too long or point it in the incorrect direction, it will be easier to find you. Ignatius Piazza offers night gun training at Front Sight, teaching students how to use a flashlight safely as to not give away their position and how to clear a room, along with other crucial techniques that will keep you safe while night shooting. Most other gun training schools won’t teach that. Front Sight will.
Front Sight Firearms Training Institute offers the most complete and well rounded gun training you can possibly find. Promise yourself that you won’t put yourself in danger by missing out on any aspect of gun training. Call Front Sight today and find out when you can attend Front Sight!

Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, combines gun training with real life. At his gun training school in Pahrump, Nevada, you will not find your regular, every day gun training courses. At Front Sight, Firearms Training Institute, you will find spectacular gun training that teaches you how to use a gun in real life so you can defend yourself when you need to. Regular gun training is all well and good, but it is not going to help you much when the man across the room is trying to kidnap your daughter or the masked figure comes up behind you at the ATM. Regular gun training teaches you how to shoot a gun at a steady target. Front Sight gun training teaches you how to shoot a gun at a steady target, at a moving target, in the dark and in high stress situations, making your learning experience much more effective.
Former chiropractor, Ignatius Piazza learned how necessary real life gun training is in 1988. He owned guns and shot them regularly at the range. He was a pretty decent shooter and was confident in his abilities. Then, when a drive by shooting ravaged his neighborhood, he realized that he lacked the skills he needed to protect his family in such a high stress level. When put to the test, he realized that he did not know how to use a gun in actual self defense. What good is owning a gun if you do not know how to use it to save a life, defend yourself or protect your family? So, Ignatius Piazza set out to get some real life gun training.
He found it difficult to find the gun training that he wanted. Each gun training school had one thing and lacked another. He became frustrated, finding that there was not a gun training school out there that taught amazing courses, was convenient to his busy schedule and was at least somewhat affordable. However, that frustration turned into determination.
Ignatius Piazza sought out all the gun training he possibly could over the next few years, practiced for thousands and thousands of hours and then tested to become a Four Weapons Combat Master. At the time, only one man in the world had ever become one, and Ignatius Piazza decided that he was going to become the second. He succeeded, and to this day, only a handful of other men carry that title. Having achieved such a rare certification, Ignatius Piazza is definitely a cut above the rest.
Knowing how difficult it was for himself to find the gun training he wanted, Ignatius Piazza decided to open Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, a place where people from all over the world can come to find the highest quality gun training available to the world today that is both conveniently scheduled and affordable. Front Sight trains students how to defend themselves and their loved ones in real, life threatening situations of all sorts, so that they never have to feel the fear and disappointment that he felt on that night in 1988.

How often do you find yourself in a situation that you really wish you knew self defense? Being a 5’3” girl, I often used to catch myself thinking these thoughts. I used to visit a certain bar with some friends. Our friend bartended there and we loved going out, having a good time and being at a bar that we considered safe. Our group was usually between eight and twelve people and we were also friends with the manager, so we were never worried about shady bar activities that sometimes happen. However, one boy changed all of that for me. He struck up a conversation and we went outside on the front sidewalk as many of us often did to escape the noise and get some fresh air for a few minutes.
After having my head slammed into a brick wall and being forced to do some questionable things, I was afraid to go outside by myself. I was nervous to be in places that people could not see me and I rarely walked outside alone after that. If I had been in Code Yellow instead of Code White, this would not have happened. I would have been able to stop the guy before he even touched me, because I would have been more aware of what was going on.
What is this Code Yellow and Code White? They are both phases of the Color Code of Mental Awareness, as taught by Dr. Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute. During Ignatius Piazza’s gun training and self defense training courses, he teaches the Color Code of Mental Awareness to help raise your awareness of the world around you. Ignatius Piazza teaches that you can be so aware of your surroundings that you can often see a threatening situation before it becomes dangerous, giving yourself more time to respond, and thus, giving yourself more time to escape.
I became aware of the situation at hand when I hit the bricks. However, at that point, the guy (who was much stronger than me) already had me in a position where I needed to comply or something worse could happen. My newfound headache made it harder for me to think clearly, making it more difficult to weasel my way out from his grasp. If I had taken a gun training course from Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight and learned how to be aware of my surroundings and the people around me, I could have recognized him as a threat from the very beginning and avoided the situation entirely.
Now that I have had some excellent gun training from Front Sight’s incredible gun training instructors, I am more aware of what is going on around me. I catch myself in Code White sometimes and am able to correct it. Ignatius Piazza has helped me because now I know that I never again have to be caught off guard like that. I am safer now because of Dr. Ignatius Piazza and Front Sight Firearms Training Institute… and now I have no problem walking to my car alone, because I know I can protect myself.
