Scouts and Leadership - Response to Monday Blog Post

Friday, October 17th, 2008

Dr. Ignatius Piazza,

GREAT, FANTASTIC! You can’t imagine how much good you have done by your work with the Scouts. When my sons were Scout age I helped run an Explorer Post.  Here is some more information regarding the value of the Scouting Program.

  • During WWII Gen. Eisenhower realized that there was a vast shortage of junior officers (Lieutenants) ordered that all enlisted mens’ personnel records be examined to locate any who were (prior to enlistment) Eagle Scouts.  Realizing the leadership these men had thus previously demonstrated they were to be immediately issued battlefield commissions.
  • Upon receiving an appointment to one…

America’s (Future) Finest

Monday, October 13th, 2008

If you want to know where America’s future leaders and warriors are being trained, look to organizations like the Boy Scouts.

This year Front Sight opened the doors to a special group of Scouts for a Four Day Defensive Handgun Course.

Here is their story…

Dear Dr. Ignatius Piazza and Front Sight Staff -

I wish to share a special story with the Front Sight family.

On February 22-25th, Crew 568, sponsored by the Pajaro Valley Rod & Gun Club, was honored to be the first Boy Scout of America unit to take a course at Front Sight. Thirty-three Crew…

Greetings Dr. Piazza,

I have just completed the 4 day defensive hand gun & CCW at Front Sight. In my opinion and the opinion of the friends that attended with me, the classes were far more than expected. It was one of those endeavors that happen so rarely, in that the benefit far exceeded the cost & one actually comes away having received more than expected. It was also a major realization finding out just how much I didn’t know & how to correct it within 5 days.

The instructors were all of excellent demeanor & consideration. They were very effective…

From the Mail Bag

Friday, October 10th, 2008

Dear Dr. Piazza,

I just started receiving your newsletters.

I think they are great!

I’ve just started to use firearms and got a CCW permit.

I’m 59 years old and just came to the realization that I really am not able to protect my wife or myself or any of my loved ones from an assailant.

Your newsletters are already starting to give me the confidence that my situation about protecting my loved ones is about to change.

Thank you for starting up Front Sight. I intend to attend one of your classes very soon.

Thanks

Barry J.

Proud to be Front Sight Trained

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

Greetings Dr. Piazza,

I am a Front Sight Member and believe wholeheartedly in your mission; now more than ever.

Two recent rampage killing sprees within 40 miles of my WA State location make me proud and blessed to be a Front Sight trained and armed citizen.

Patrick Henry, who is called the firebrand of the American Revolution, is still remembered for his words,

‘Give me liberty or give me death.’

But in current textbooks the context of these words is deleted. Here is what Patrick Henry really said during the trying times of the American Revolution:

An appeal to arms and…

Better Than Mel Gibson and Danny Glover

Monday, October 6th, 2008

Do you remember the shooting range scene in the movie Lethal Weapon where Mel Gibson and Danny Glover are competing to see who is the best shot? Mel Gibson then rapidly fires a Smiley Face on a target with his handgun at 25 yards… Well that’s Hollywood.

Here’s the real deal when it comes to shooting a face on a target and this artist is Front Sight trained!

And if you do not yet have a Handgun and Concealed Weapon Permit, then by all means take advantage of my…

Response from Handgun Convert

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

Dear Dr. Piazza,

I have just read your 2nd newsletter& am finding these interesting.

This coming from a lady that one year ago hated handguns!

I took a local beginner class, starting going to the range every 1-2 weeks and got hooked on trying to improve. My husband and I completed the CCW class Feb. 2008. I absolutely look forward to my range time each time! I just wish that you had a facility somewhere in the southeast. But we have thought about saving up the money and in a year or two making the effort to check into your…

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

Dear Dr. Piazza,

I just wanted to thank you and let you know I have been receiving your reports.  They are truly amazing.

Especially the Combat Mindset, the Color Code of Awareness, and how it applies to your brain not being able to comprehend an attack. This is great information that really has a practical application every day.

I can’t tell you how excited I am to open my email and see the next report.  I am going to miss them.  I do plan on taking advantage of one of the great offers like the one in Training Report #13.…
