More Than Shooting a Gun: A More Complete Gun Training Course

Wednesday, January 4th, 2012

What do you learn at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute

You learn more than just how to shoot a gun; that is for sure.

The things taught at Front Sight far surpass the curriculum at other gun training schools. Dr. Ignatius Piazza, founder and director of Front Sight, wanted to make sure that at Front Sight, you will get the best and most complete gun training you can find. Unlike other gun training schools, you will walk away from Front Sight a different person: more confident, more aware and a better shooter than you ever thought you could become, even with years and years of practice… and you will achieve this all in a few short days. It may sound too good to be true, but before your first day of gun training at Front Sight has completed, you will understand.

Front Sight Firearms Training Institute first and foremost concentrates on gun safety. Front Sight is focused on keeping you and your loved ones safe, so Ignatius Piazza’s gun training courses are incredibly safe. The gun training instructors will teach you how to handle a gun properly and how to increase your safety while holding it. During my first self defense gun training course, I felt safe one hundred percent of the time. I went to a shooting range after attending Front Sight and immediately noticed that barely anyone knew the first thing about gun safety. I was on edge for most of the time spent there, due to how these people were carrying themselves and carrying their weapons. You will be glad to know that the practices of Front Sight’s staff will make you feel comfortable, and teach you how to be safe, during and after your gun training.

During a typical day of gun training at Front Sight, you will experience many things, including hands on tactical gun training, watching shooting demonstrations and listening to gun training lectures. Wait, lectures? Before you argue and say that lectures are boring, you should know that Ignatius Piazza’s staff members will give lectures that will get you thinking and prepare your mind for what you are about to learn. You will gain a new perspective on gun training, the use of guns for self defense and the life that comes along with it. You will learn not only riveting things about guns and gun training, but you will also learn how to AVOID using a gun in the first place. Front Sight emphasizes the fact that you only want to use a gun if it is your last and only option. I found it quite enjoyable and refreshing to learn different self defense techniques that I could use before presenting my weapon. I also found it interesting to learn about the combat mindset, the emotional side effects of using a gun and how to deal with the legal aspects of having to shoot a gun.

Many people hear that Front Sight includes lectures and they immediately shy away from the gun training course. But let me tell you, I think that the lectures may have been my favorite part of my gun training at Front Sight. I was so impressed and eager to keep learning, because Ignatius Piazza expanded my idea of gun training and made me realize that gun training is more than just learning how to shoot a gun. Front Sight really is the most complete gun training I have found.

Front Sight Protects You When the Police Can’t… Or Won’t

Sunday, December 25th, 2011

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.

College Kids Need Gun Training

Thursday, December 22nd, 2011

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?

Gun Training: All Strength; No Weakness

Thursday, December 1st, 2011

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.

Front Sight: Real Training for Real Situations

Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011

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.

Offering More Than Gun Training: Front Sight Firearms Training Institute

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011

I love Front Sight Firearms Training Institute. I get a huge kick out of talking about it, writing about it and talking about it some more. It is kind of like an obsession of mine, as I am sure you are aware. The way I see it is this: Learning self defense is extremely important. I want people to get the best self defense training possible. I do not want to rave about a sub par self defense training place. Thus, I speak of Front Sight. Front Sight is more than a gun training school. Dr. Ignatius Piazza, the man that founded and now directs Front Sight, offers all types of self defense training, from knife training to empty hands self defense training, like martial arts.

All though I seriously believe gun training is very, very important, especially if you wish to own a gun or someone in your home owns a gun, I also believe that other types of self defense training are just as crucial. There are places (too many of them) that do not allow someone to carry a gun. So, us, as law abiding citizens, obey what we are told and do not carry a gun to those places, right? Well, then there are bad guys. These bad guys do not seem to care that the law says they cannot do it, and they bring the guns in anyway. So what do we do if we encounter someone who is carrying a gun and we don’t have one?

There are other places where it is extremely difficult to sneak a gun into, but these bad guys we speak of are likely to be prepared to fight. An example of a place like this: an airplane. Post 9-11, it is super difficult to get a nail file or a bottle of water on board, much more a handgun. What’s the bad guy going to do? Approach the pilot and say, “Sir, would you mind if I take over flying this here plane? I’ve got a mountain to crash into and I am really running out of time.” ?? Or maybe he will just simply say to you, “Hi. I’d like to have your wallet now. Okay, thanks!” (…as you hand it to him?) Right. These guys are going to fight. So what do you do if someone tries to fight you? Can you protect yourself and your family?

Ignatius Piazza and his team of professional self defense training instructors at Front Sight will show you how to defend yourself and offer family protection. They will show you how to handle someone with a gun if you don’t have one. You will learn how to disarm your opponent, and then how to use the gun for self defense. You will learn how to defend yourself against someone’s fists so you can stay safe, even if neither of you has a weapon for you to use.

Gun training is so important. But there are times when using a gun for self defense is not really an option. Front Sight will train you what to do in those times, so you can feel safe one hundred percent of the time.

Front Sight: My Safety Insurance Policy

Thursday, October 6th, 2011

What types of insurance do you have? Health insurance, dental insurance, home insurance, life insurance, car insurance… Many of us see these things as “expenses”… but when the time comes that they are needed… man, they are helpful. We hope we never have to use them, but aren’t we glad that we have them if the need ever comes? What would happen if you broke a bone or got really sick and did not have health insurance? What would happen if your car got totaled if you did not have car insurance? I like to see my self defense training and gun training as safety insurance. My gun training From Dr. Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute was like insurance to my safety, saying that it can be there when I need it.

Having received the best gun training in the world from the top gun training instructors available to the world today, I am confident that if I ever need to use the self defense skills, shooting techniques and gun handling drills taught at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, I will be able to pull them right out of my holster and they will be there for me, just like any good insurance plan. One of the great things about the safety insurance I get from Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight is that my deductible has already been met. You can easily meet yours, as well, by signing up for one of Ignatius Piazza’s Lifetime Memberships at Front Sight. Once you pay for a Front Sight Lifetime Membership and become a Front Sight First Family Member, your safety insurance deductible has been met, and you can cash in on all of the gun training you need and want, depending on which of Ignatius Piazza’s memberships you choose.

I chose the all inclusive Diamond Front Sight Lifetime Membership, meaning that I can attend ANY and EVERY Front Sight self defense training course, knife training course or gun training course at Front Sight for the REST OF MY LIFE, free of charge. Since I have already paid, I never again have to worry about paying for another Front Sight course.

Safe Shooting: Front Sight

Monday, May 23rd, 2011

I sat in a room with a few hundred other people. Everyone in the room had a gun on his or her hip. And I have never felt safer.

Think about it. Who, in their right mind, would attack anyone in that room? Now, imagine an entire city like that. Dr. Ignatius Piazza, founder and director of the gun training school, Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, has a dream to one day have an entire town where everyone practices their Second Amendment rights, owns a gun and is highly trained in how to use a gun for self defense. In his eyes, and in the eyes of hundreds of thousands of people all across the nation, this would be the safest town in the world. I am one of those people.

The Second Amendment was created to increase our safety. A gun can be a wonderful tool of self defense and can protect us from home invasions, carjackings, rape, robberies and many other attacks that are not any fun to think about. However, a gun can be dangerous if you do not know how to use it safely. This is why Ignatius Piazza offers the world’s greatest and most thorough gun training that money can buy. His gun training courses at Front Sight can help you learn how to use a gun for self defense, no matter how much or how little gun training you have had in the past.

For those people with little to no gun training, Ignatius Piazza wants to show you the right way to use a gun from the very first time you pick it up. This group of people has a special advantage, because they do not have any bad habits to break and can learn correctly right from the start. Ignatius Piazza and the gun training instructors at Front Sight make learning easy, so you do not get overwhelmed or frustrated. They will help you and be with you every step of the way, so you are comfortable until you are completely confident in your gun training and your shooting skills. This is where I was when I first attended one of Ignatius Piazza’s gun training courses at Front Sight and I left, four days later, feeling like I have been shooting my entire life. I learned quickly, safely and seemingly effortlessly and am now actually a pretty good shot.

If you have years of gun training under your belt, Ignatius Piazza would like to help you hone your shooting skills and perfect your technique. Did you know that there are things that about ninety five to ninety nine percent of the gun owning population do while shooting that can cause their shots to be less accurate? The worst part is, is that most of these people do not even know that some of these habits exist. Ignatius Piazza will help you make sure that you do not fall into this group of people, and that you are in the five to one percent of gun owners that don’t hold these bad habits, making your shooting even more precise than it is now.

Whether you fall into one of these listed categories or somewhere in between, Ignatius Piazza invites you to Front Sight, so you can learn, improve and perfect your safe, self defense shooting skills.

Front Sight: Yeah, They Teach That

Tuesday, March 15th, 2011

It is pitch black in your house. You and your wife are sleeping. The kids are at some sleepover. The doors are locked. You wake up suddenly and something just feels off. You realize your wife isn’t by your side. And then you hear it. Whispers echo throughout your home. But they are not familiar whispers… they are those of two… or three… people who want to take your stuff. Where is your wife? Is she safe? Do they have her? Where the hell is she?? Your heart pounding, you grab your gun and are ready to charge downstairs and show those guys who’s boss.

Now, you have got to approach this situation delicately. Do you want the intruders to know you are there? You have got to find them and find your wife quickly but with caution. Did you know that there is a way to walk through a door, down a hallway and around your house that can keep you safe, and a way to do these things that will put you at risk? Did you know that there is a way to search a room with a flashlight that will keep you safe, as opposed to completely giving away your location, making you a prime target for the bad guys? Dr. Ignatius Piazza’s gun training courses at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute will teach you these things. In addition to self defense gun training, as a student of Front Sight, you will learn how to clear rooms and handle home invasion scenarios. You will receive night gun training, so you can learn how to shoot accurately in little to no lighting. You will learn everything you need to know about gun training to keep you and your family safe.

Your body goes numb when you realize they have her. You can see the silhouette of a man, holding her tightly. He is using her as a shield. What do you do now?! Think back to your gun training from Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight. Yep, you also learned hostage situations. But there is more than one bad guy. Wait… you have also learned how to handle multiple adversaries. As if nothing could go right tonight, you raise your gun to shoot and you hear a click. It is a good thing that you also learned how to handle gun malfunctions quickly and effortlessly from the Front Sight gun training instructors, or else you and your wife may be in a bit of trouble.

We know that keeping calm in a situation like this is nearly impossible, but students of Ignatius Piazza have all been extremely well trained. Being completely prepared will help ease the stress level, making success a higher probability. The gun training instructors at Front Sight use real life scenarios to train students for real life, not just how to hit a stationary target at the range.

Now, run through this scenario in your mind again and let me ask you this: are you Front Sight trained?
