Hello Dr Piazza,

I really enjoy your newsletters very much, I really like the one about what to do with your gun when you are sleeping, in the bathroom etc.

My wife isn’t really thrilled about me carrying a gun or having a gun in the house at all.

However, I went and purchased a digital lock safe and put my gun in there, then I had to hide the safe. I know it wasn’t the safest thing to do if someone broke in the house but she said because of our children that was the only option I had…

Dr. Piazza,

I just wanted to take a minute and say thanks for the call Thanksgiving Day.  

Some of my family will be at your 2 day hand gun refresher on November 30.

Randy, Mike and Steve, give them a hard time for me. I’ll make it at a later date.

Thanks for being a true patriot.

Dear Dr. Piazza,

I was at Front sight for a 4 day defensive handgun course Nov. 9-12 and can’t wait to go back.  Myself and 3 of my friends had an awesome time.  I was impressed by all of the things that most people say about the courses - professional staff, well worth the time.  I can say I learned more in 4 days than I have in the last 9 years about shooting and handguns. 

Thanks again for a great facility and a great experience.

Sincerely,

Eric

Thanks to the superb training I received this past Memorial weekend at Front Sight on how to properly and safely present and fire my new handgun, I was able to score a 100 on my written test and also get a perfect score on the shooting test for my Texas CHL. I’m now patiently awaiting my card to show up, OK, well maybe not that patiently.

Thank you for gun training report #20, your advice is so right. I have a friend who went to bed and found himself on the front porch five hrs later with loaded 44mag in hand. It scared him so bad that he won’t have a loaded gun in his house, eight years later. He keeps ammo next to weapon on the nite stand, I just hope he’s fast enough.   Keep your powder dry.

Attention: Dr. Ignatius Piazza

Your newsletters carry some powerful information. I do continue to review and become more aware of the contents within.

I wish I could be there to take some of your heavy hitting courses and some day I will.

I just wanted to thank you for your presence and straight spoken messages!!

Dr. Piazza,

I just wanted to respond to this report,  I am a firearms instructor for my dept  and I get questions all the time about caliber and/or weapon types,  I totally agree with your Motto,

 ANY GUN  WILL DO, IF YOU WILL DO.

I constantly tell the officers to practice,  repeat practice  then repeat a hundred times again  then start over.  I have passed you info from this report along to some of our officers hoping to “guide” them to a good deceision

I enjoy your articles, and my son has purchased several Family Challenge Memberships (good son)  and we…

Dr. Piazza,

I read your next segment titled, “PENETRATION IS YOUR FRIEND” with much interest and especially appreciated your references regarding, “…carrying the Largest Caliber, Biggest Bullet and Most Powerful Loads” and that still yet, this is no match to the shotgun or rifle.  This is absolutely correct and a continuing point of argument I too have professed over the years yet too few seem to be listening to the facts, let alone Training in such modes.

To the demise of at least two of the Deputies I worked with over the years and several other police officers in the…

Dr. Piazza,

I have been in two gunfights and I can tell people what is going to happen if they ever get into one; and I’m old enough to remember life before JFK got shot when everyone went around armed if they wanted to and no one thought much about it….and there wasn’t much crime. Believe me. And I am the right age to understand that things slow down over fifty-five. The days of wrestling someone down and cuffing them are over. So people over fifty need to learn he same things you teach to the younger crowd because we…

Dr. Piazza,

I recently, FINALLY, purchased a membership to Front Sight.  Thank you for offering a payment plan for the memberships.  It enabled me to be able to afford a membership.  I have been recommending Front Sight to people I know for a long time, and now I will finally be able to go to one of your classes myself, and with my favorite new firearm.

I also sent someone from Glock Talk (.com) to your web sight for a copy of your Dry Practice Manual.  The man was having trouble with eye dominance/sight picture problems, and I thought your…
