			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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&#8217;t really seem like that big of a deal. But what if the bad guy has a gun to your sister&#8217;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?</p>
<p>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&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The idea of Ignatius Piazza&#8217;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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is new and interesting in your life? Many people&#8217;s greatest adventure is seeing their friends&#8217; status updates on Facebook. If that sounds like you, then maybe it is time to get your butt in gear and have a REAL adventure as the summer comes to a close. My current pick for a summer adventure would be to attend a self defense gun training course from Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, at his gun training school called Front Sight Firearms Training Institute in Pahrump, Nevada.</p>
<p>Self defense gun training in an adventure? How can that be? Well, what are the things that best describe an adventure?</p>
<p>1. An adventure is something different than what you are used to. It is a step or two outside the box.<br />
2. An adventure is usually something fun and exciting, with new experiences to be had.<br />
3. An adventure usually helps you learn something interesting or worthwhile.<br />
4. An adventure takes effort, but the value of the experience usually exceeds the effort expended.</p>
<p>Front Sight is likely something different than what you are used to, especially if you are used to watching movies and catching up on social networking. It is an incredible, mostly outdoor experience that will spice up your everyday routine and get you moving.</p>
<p>Front Sight is way more fun than I can even begin to explain. At my first self defense training course at Front Sight, I met a bunch of new people, got to learn a new skill and participate in the teaching of it. The hands on tactical gun training and shooting competitions definitely keep things exciting and keep students involved and interested the entire time.</p>
<p>Front Sight teaches the irreplaceable skill of self defense and knowing how to save lives. The gun training lectures, demonstrations and hands on shooting practice teach lifelong lessons while students have a blast. After attending a gun training course from Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight, students will have more knowledge and shooting skills than ninety nine percent of the gun owning population.</p>
<p>Like any worthwhile activity, a Front Sight student can&#8217;t complete a course without trying at all. The gun training courses at Front Sight are definitely challenging, but completely doable, even for first time shooters. The material taught at Front Sight is taught in a fashion that is manageable and never too fast, but is always moving to keep people interested and always learning. By the end of a self defense gun training course at Front Sight, students are left feeling proud, confident and accomplished.</p>
<p>Ignatius Piazza&#8217;s gun training courses at Front Sight are an incredible value. The reward that a Front Sight student receives after attending a class by Ignatius Piazza completely overrides anything else involved. The change that Front Sight brings to people&#8217;s lives is downright incredible&#8230; and it all happens in just a few days. If you are ready for the adventure of your life, check out Front Sight&#8217;s website or give Ignatius Piazza a call today. Your greatest adventure could start right now!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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&#8230; you will find the best gun training in the world.</p>
<p>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?</p>
<p>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&#8230; 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;s gun training program, extremely sharp AND super nice. On top of all that, Front Sight&#8217;s gun training courses are SO MUCH FUN.</p>
<p>Check it out and you will see that Front Sight truly is the gun training school with all strength and no weakness.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you at home with your family one hundred percent of the time? Chances are, you are probably not. You are a busy person.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How often do you find yourself in a situation that you really wish you knew self defense? Being a 5&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Now that I have had some excellent gun training from Front Sight&#8217;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&#8230; and now I have no problem walking to my car alone, because I know I can protect myself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are like most people who have ever been in a relationship, you have probably experienced, at one point or another, the familiar concept of getting “comfortable.” Now, when I say, “comfortable,” I mean something a little different than being able to be around him without makeup or being fine with her smelling you after working in the yard for a few hours. I am talking about COMFORTABLE&#8230; when you come home from work, and all you do is eat some dinner and watch some TV. Day in and day out, that&#8217;s what you do, and it is totally fine. It is comfortable&#8230; until one day, it hits you. “Man&#8230; we are BORING.”</p>
<p>I know I have been there. So what do you do to fix this? I know an awesome place. It could be considered out of the ordinary to suggest something like this, because many people would suggest to go out dancing or go on a hike or to the zoo or something&#8230; but I am going to suggest getting some first class gun training with your significant other at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute in Parhump, Nevada.</p>
<p>Front Sight is the perfect way to add some spice and oomph into your relationship, while building strength, trust and bringing you closer together. I will tell you why.</p>
<p>One, attending a gun training course from world renowned Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, is way more exciting than the rerun of I Love Lucy or Seinfeld that you have probably seen seventeen times. At Front Sight, you will learn how to safely and effectively shoot a gun for self defense, by listening to interesting presentations, watching awe inspiring demonstrations and practicing some real life, hands on tactical gun training. The presentations and demonstrations are truly amazing. It is seriously like heading out to a shooting museum&#8230; and getting to participate.</p>
<p>Two, when you practice your hands on tactical gun training at Front Sight, you partner up with another student. Partnering with your significant other will help build communication because you are helping each other learn. You are keeping each other safe, learning how to teach clearly and non judgmentally while listening to each other and having fun. Front Sight is a fantastic partnering experience!</p>
<p>Three, Front Sight will help you build trust. Ignatius Piazza and his team of firearms training instructors at Front Sight teach self defense and family protection. Don&#8217;t you think that you would be more likely to trust someone that you are confident could save your life in any dangerous situation? Forget the classic exercise of standing in front of your significant other and falling into his or her arms. At Front Sight, you get to learn how to keep each other safe and secure while feeling the power of a gun in your hands. It is pretty much the coolest trust building exercise ever created.</p>
<p>Attending a gun training course from Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight is a great option to get out of that boring and repetitive lifestyle that many of us live. It will change things up. It will change your life. It could change your relationship. Are you ready for making that positive change?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to gun training, if you want to learn to be more than just a great shooter, there is only one place to go. What do I mean when I say, “more than just a great shooter”? There are many people out there who are pretty good at shooting. These people may shoot pretty close to the bullseye of their target almost every time. These people might be considered “great” shooters. But then there are the guys that can HIT the bullseye&#8230; EVERY time. THESE people are MORE than great shooters. There are people who can have their gun out of their holster and in shooting position in just a few seconds. These people may be considered great. Then there are people who can have their guns out of their holsters and their target shot&#8230; all in less than a second and a half. These people are more than great shooters. The great shooters may know how to shoot a gun pretty well. But put them in a life threatening situation and they may wish that they were more than just a great shooter. The guys with the extra skills have a greater chance of escaping life threatening and other dangerous situations, like robberies, rape and muggings.</p>
<p>So how do I become more than just a great shooter? Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza of Front Sight Firearms Training Institute offers the world&#8217;s greatest gun training so anyone can become more than just a great shooter. Ignatius Piazza can turn absolute beginner shooters into shooters that rival in skill with the shooting professionals, and in many cases, can beat the pros in a shootout, through his amazing gun training programs at Front Sight. But don&#8217;t think that Front Sight is only a gun training school for beginners. Ignatius Piazza also offers several different types of advanced gun training courses, so you can keep improving and perfecting your technique.</p>
<p>Front Sight Firearms Training Institute is your one stop place to get gun training of any kind, teaching gun safety, shooting speed, perfect precision and self defense, along with a large list of other things. It is a place where beginners and advanced shooters alike can come together and learn from highly trained gun training instructors, as well as learn from each other, in an environment that is safe, challenging and fun. Ignatius Piazza and the gun training instructors at Front Sight work hard to make sure every student learns and succeeds, and that no one walks away disappointed. After one self defense gun training course from Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight, any student can have shooting skills that are stronger than ninety nine percent of the gun owning population.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How did you spend your Fourth of July? Many people spent their Independence Day at the barbecue, enjoying burgers and maybe a cold one or two. Some people party their cares away. But there is one thing that is for sure: Walking down the street on July Fourth is a huge reminder of how great it is to be an American. People carry flags and fly them high, proud of where they live and where they come from. We, as Americans, are afforded some of the greatest freedoms we could ever ask for. I don&#8217;t know about you, but I would really like to keep those freedoms.</p>
<p>It is almost time for another Election Year. Seeing what has happened over the last several years, it is obvious we really need to think about who we elect as our new President. What are the issues that are really important to you? For many people, like myself, the issue of health care is important. Taxes interest a lot of people. The Department of Defense interests a large group of people. Another issue that is super important to me is that good old Second Amendment: The Right to Bear Arms.</p>
<p>We have come way too close to losing that right&#8230; and I want a President that is going to help us keep it. However, Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, has worked hard in the past to help our lawmakers know just how important that right is to us, and he will not stop working. Ignatius Piazza, the founder and director of a huge gun training school called Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, is an avid Second Amendment supporter, as am I. He understands how important it is that we keep that right to bear arms. If we lose that right, it puts us in danger because as much as we don&#8217;t like to admit, the bad guys are still going to have guns. Gun control is not the answer. Guns are never going to be completely out of the picture. They will always be there.</p>
<p>The truth of the matter is, is that guns in untrained hands are dangerous. There is no trying to get out of or around that one. But guns in the hands of someone who has had great gun training, like the self defense gun training offered by Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, can be wonderful tools for family protection and self defense. What we need to be doing is requiring professional gun training, rather than trying to kick guns out of the picture.</p>
<p>Front Sight offers the best gun training that money can buy. In just a few short days, Ignatius Piazza can teach anyone the skills it takes to safely and effectively use a gun for self defense. After just four days with Ignatius Piazza in his gun training courses at Front Sight, any student can have better gun handling skills than ninety nine percent of the gun owning population&#8230; and that includes people who use guns for a living.</p>
<p>I support the Second Amendment. I support Ignatius Piazza. And, as a student of the gun training school, I support Front Sight!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, is a man with a mindset for change. He wants to change the world in a positive way by educating and training people about gun safety and self defense. His goal is to create a safer world to live in. However, there are many people out there that really want to get self defense training or gun training but they just simply do not have the money to do it. This is where Ignatius Piazza comes in.</p>
<p>Ignatius Piazza owns and operates the number one gun training school in the world, called Front Sight Firearms Training Institute. At Front Sight, thousands upon thousands of students are trained each year to be able to handle a gun safely, use a gun effectively for self defense, offer family protection and much more. Ignatius Piazza&#8217;s gun training courses are so effective and impressively fun that they draw more and more people every year, at least doubling the size of Front Sight as each calendar year passes. For fifteen years, Front Sight has operated this way, and it is on its way to do it again. Students (including military personnel, law enforcement officers and gun training instructors from other firearms training schools) rave on and on about the quality of the gun training offered by Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight. The word is that you cannot get better gun training than Front Sight&#8217;s gun training.</p>
<p>But Ignatius Piazza does more than run the best gun training school in the world. He could do just this, yes, and no one would think less of him, but he has been bitten by the philanthropic bug and now, he just can&#8217;t seem to get enough of it. Not only does Ignatius Piazza offer special deals to attend his gun training courses for pennies on the dollar, he heads up a philanthropic organization called Helping Those Who Help Others, where he donates his dedicated efforts to many charitable organizations.</p>
<p>To date, Ignatius Piazza has donated almost eleven million dollars in cash and benefits to a variety of charitable organizations all over the country, such as Guide Dogs For The Blind, Inc., The Special Olympics, Suicide Prevention Care Fund and The American Humane Association, to name a fraction of the charities. Ignatius Piazza and Front Sight donate to Children&#8217;s Charities, Women&#8217;s Charities, Religious Charities, Military Charities and so many other charitable organizations that it is baffling to see the extensive list.</p>
<p>Ignatius Piazza has the dream of a safer world. He started out as just one man who realized he needed to learn how to use a gun for self defense when he and his family were threatened by a shooting. And now, twenty three years after that monumental realization, Ignatius Piazza makes a difference in people&#8217;s lives every day. He has changed the lives of millions of people, and will not stop. He will only continue to offer the world&#8217;s best gun training and continue to facilitate the donations of Helping Those Who Help Others.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;t have one?</p>
<p>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&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;d like to have your wallet now. Okay, thanks!” (&#8230;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?</p>
<p>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&#8217;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&#8217;s fists so you can stay safe, even if neither of you has a weapon for you to use.</p>
<p>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.</p>
