In regards to gun training, you may have heard of the fifty percent rule. In a situation where self defense or family protection is needed, you will only be about fifty percent as accurate as your best day on the shooting range. Basically, that means you are going to be a bit slower and your bullets are going to hit further away from your exact target. If, on your best day, you hit about four inches away from your target, adjust that by fifty percent. Now you are going to be about six inches away. When it comes to small amounts like that, the extra two inches doesn’t really seem like that big of a deal. But what if the bad guy has a gun to your sister’s head and is holding her up as a human shield? If you miss his head, you may have just hit your sister. Are you okay with that?
In stressful and life threatening situations, your brain reacts differently than in calm and controlled situations. While shooting targets at the shooting range, you have all the time in the world. When someone has a gun to your sister’s head, the seconds count. You need to be able to remain calm and keep your cool in these situations, so that your self defense mechanism will be more accurate, quicker, smoother and thus, more effective.
Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza of Front Sight Firearms Training Institute wants to give you the training you need to be able to keep your mind and hand steady, even in these horrifying situations. The gun training courses at Front Sight concentrate on gun safety, and teach how to use a gun for self defense and family protection in actual life threatening situations. Throughout your gun training course, you will hear interesting lectures, watch entertaining shooting demonstrations and practice hands on tactical gun training, performing drills and exercises repetitively until they are second nature to you. This repetition may sound boring, but the gun training instructors at Front Sight keep things exciting and fun, so the class never drags or feels stale. You will interact with other people and will get the chance to participate in scenario based training. You will learn what it feels like to be in a threatening situation, so if you should ever have to endure one for real, your response will come more naturally, since you have technically already been there and done that.
The idea of Ignatius Piazza’s dream for Front Sight is not to make you a good shooter. The idea is to make you a perfect shooter, so that the fifty percent rule need not affect you too much. If you are constantly hitting your target spot on, or even a couple centimeters away, even if you include that fifty percent decrease in accuracy, you are still doing pretty well when it comes to accuracy. Ignatius Piazza and Front Sight will train you to be the best shooter you can be, guaranteed.

When I want to do something, I want to do it right. There is no point in doing something if I am only going to do it halfway. Go big or go home, right? Gun training is something that can save a life. Take it lightly or not seriously and using a gun could be dangerous or deadly. So why do so many people choose to not go big when it comes to their gun training?
Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, the huge gun training school located in Pahrump, Nevada, includes over five hundred fifty acres of shooting ranges, lecture halls and tactical gun training fields to give you everything you could possibly need from a gun training school. Front Sight is really a place that goes big… with EVERYTHING. Founder and director, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, was a chiropractor who had a rude and startling awakening in 1988 when his neighborhood was trampled upon by a drive by shooting. At the time, he had had gun training and was pretty proficient with his shooting ability, but suddenly realized that he lacked the skills he needed in order to use a gun for self defense to save lives. He decided that he was going to get the gun training he needed in order to protect himself and his family.
After a long and demanding route, Ignatius Piazza finally claimed the second Four Weapons Combat Certificate in the world and opened Front Sight Firearms Training Institute. Front Sight was going to be, and still is, a place where students with any level of gun training and any amount of shooting experience can go to learn the best self defense gun training tactics possible. One Four Day Defensive Handgun Training Course with Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight can have anyone shooting better than ninety nine percent of the gun owning population. I am telling you… Front Sight goes big.
Starting with just a few students, Front Sight has at least doubled in size every year since its opening in 1996. Talk about going big! Currently, Ignatius Piazza provides gun training to tens of thousands of students every year. He trains more students than all of the other gun training schools in the world combined. How did Front Sight get so big? Well, say you were a beginner shooter and had never even touched a gun before. Then, you attended one four day gun training course. On day one, you fumbled with your gun, struggling to get it in and out of the holster. By the end of the gun training course, you were fast and nimble at presenting your weapon and getting it back safely on your hip. On day one, you could barely shoot anywhere remotely near your target. By the end of the four days, you could pick a spot on the target and make your bullet hit exactly there. Would you keep that a secret?
Front Sight grows so quickly because it is simply the best place in the entire world to procure gun training. When you do something, you want to do it right. Front Sight is definitely the right way to go.

Getting gun training is more necessary than you might think. One might think that if a woman had a restraining order against a man and the man threatened her or her children, the police would be obligated to protect them if she called them. Nope. Did you know that under Supreme Court Ruling, the police do not have an obligation to protect any individual? It is true. They only have an obligation to protect society as a whole. The Supreme Court case of Gonzales v. Castle Rock is just one of the many instances that proves this. Jessica Gonzales had her three children kidnapped by her ex husband, who ended up killing the kids. All the while Gonzales called police and begged them to help her, but they would not do anything… even though she read the restraining order that stated to the police that they needed “to use every reasonable effort to protect the children to prevent violence.”
Hartzler v. City of San Jose is another case that demonstrates this saddening fact. Ruth Brunell called the police on twenty different occasions, telling them that her husband was on his way to come kill her. They stated that she should call them when he got there. Yeah… he got there… and he killed her. Was the police department found guilty? No. The police have no obligation to protect individuals.
I have been familiar with this concept for quite some time and it sickens me each time I think about it. From the wise word’s of my friend’s Facebook status, “Who is obligated to protect me then? ME!” You are exactly right, Facebook friend that will remain unnamed. We owe it to ourselves to get self defense training and gun training so that we can protect ourselves when the police won’t. What would you do if you were being threatened and the police refused to protect you?
Get yourself some gun training from Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute in Pahrump, Nevada. You will be glad you did. Front Sight is the number one gun training school in the entire world, doing more business and serving more students than all of the other gun training schools in the world combined. Ignatius Piazza combines well planned and executed educational lectures and interesting gun training demonstrations with exciting, hands on tactical gun training to create the world’s best gun training program. Just a few minutes on one of Front Sight’s shooting ranges and you will realize exactly why Front Sight is the top gun training school in the world.
There is no better way to feel safe than with Ignatius Piazza’s intense self defense gun training program at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute. Front Sight’s courses are tailored to help beginner shooters as well as advanced shooters… so no matter where you currently stand with your gun training, you can learn how to protect yourself and offer family protection, just in case the police choose not to.

For many people, it is back to school time. As a new semester begins, I am sure there are a lot of parents who are bidding their college kids adieu and sending them off to the dormitories. As a parent, have you ever thought about the safety of your children? No doubt that answer is yes. But now that they are older and able to watch after themselves, do you feel comfortable letting them live on their own in a college dorm, roaming around campus or parking lots late at night, attending those famous college parties or not checking in with you every night?
They may always be your babies, but the truth is, your kids are getting older. While we wish we could be there to protect them every day of their lives, every minute of the day, we just can’t. However, even without being there, we still CAN protect them every minute of every day for the rest of their lives. I am talking about giving them the gift of self defense.
Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, of Front Sight Firearms Training Institute in Pahrump, Nevada, wants to give you peace of mind by providing the world’s best quality gun training, knife training and self defense training of any kind to your college age kids.
My kid is going to be on campus all day and in the dorms all night… why does she need gun training? Like it or not, college campuses can be dangerous places. Just because knives and guns are not permitted does not mean they are not there. Bad guys do not follow the rules. There have been countless stories of students getting injured or killed because someone brought a knife or a gun on campus. Even if your child does not choose to carry a weapon, he or she should know HOW to use a gun, how to use a knife and how to use empty hands self defense techniques. Front Sight will teach students not only how to use a gun or knife safely and effectively, but also how to disarm an attacker. This will give them a much greater chance of staying safe if someone were to approach them in a threatening manner.
When you come to the conclusion that your child should get some gun training, you will likely want to take them to the best gun training school possible. And guess what? It just so happens that Front Sight is ranked the number one gun training school in the world. Founder and director of Front Sight, Ignatius Piazza has worked tirelessly to make sure that students get the best possible gun training education in a short amount of time. His gun training program will change your kids’ lives… and it will change yours, as well. In just a few days, your college student can have gun handling skills that exceed those of ninety nine percent of the gun owning population. Doesn’t that make you feel better about them being off on their own?

Beginning shooters leave Front Sight with techniques that will have people thinking that they have been shooting for years. Front Sight Firearms Training Institute can give even first time shooters the knowledge and experience needed to shoot better than ninety nine percent of the gun owning population.

In fact, many gun training instructors from other schools go to Ignatius Piazza to help them learn all of the things that make such a big difference.

Have you ever tried to find good gun training? Like, really, really good gun training? If you tried prior to 1996 I bet you ran into some issues. Back then, finding really awesome gun training required talent. Lucky for us, now we can easily find great gun training and great gun training deals with Front Sight Firearms Training Institute. At Front Sight, you will find not only good gun training… you will find the best gun training in the world.
Founder and Director, Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, ran into those issues when he was trying to find his own gun training back in the late eighties and early nineties. He really wanted to learn how to use a gun for self defense and family protection, but he kept running into walls and dead ends. Some gun training schools seemed promising, but then it turned out they were seriously lacking in some areas. Each gun training school that Ignatius Piazza came across had strengths and weaknesses. But where was the gun training school with only strengths?
The frustration that Ignatius Piazza experienced when he was on what should have been a simple search for basic self defense gun training became even greater on his quest to become a Four Weapons Combat Master… and he decided that no one should ever have to go through this again. Thus, he made up his mind to create the gun training school with no weaknesses. He worked tirelessly and finally, Front Sight Firearms Training Institute opened its doors in April of 1996. It has done so much for the gun training world ever since.
What are the strengths that you look for in your gun training? I would answer that question by saying complete material that focuses on gun safety and how to use a gun correctly, a gun training program for all experience levels, knowledgeable and friendly staff members, incredibly experienced gun training instructors who give one on one attention, and it would also help if the environment was fun and inviting. I can see how most gun training schools would have a couple of those qualifications, but I can also see how it would be difficult to house all of them at once. Well, Ignatius Piazza pulls it off with Front Sight Firearms Training Institute.
Let me break it down. The gun training curriculum at Front Sight focuses greatly on gun safety and nothing is left out. Every exercise taught, learned and practiced at Front Sight is safe and supervised. Students feel as if they are getting personal gun training, even with other people in the class, because the instructors are, literally, the best gun training instructors in the world. Questions are answered immediately and thoroughly, until each student fully understands the answer. Every employee at Front Sight, even the people that answer the phones and work in the Pro Shop, are trained in Front Sight’s gun training program, extremely sharp AND super nice. On top of all that, Front Sight’s gun training courses are SO MUCH FUN.
Check it out and you will see that Front Sight truly is the gun training school with all strength and no weakness.

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!
