Ignatius Piazza and Front Sight Blog for Self Defense Firearms Training
Self Defense Firearms Training for Law Enforcement, Military, and Gun Owning Private Citizens Alike

Here are two strong reasons why you should do everything you can to buy a gun, get training and secure a Concealed Weapon Permit so you can carry a gun with you everywhere you go.

The first is a jail house interview with a thug who recently shot two men simply because they didn’t have a cigarette to give him. That’s right. No cigarettes so he “went in dat mode” and killed them by shooting them repeatedly in the torso and head.

What you need to recognize is this can happen to anyone at any time. It could have happened…

What would you do if you were standing in line at the bank and a man slipped the teller a note to rob the bank?

What would you do if he told you and the teller he had a bomb?

Well here is the video news story of a man who was faced with exactly that situation.

Watch this video news story and then we will discuss what was right and wrong about his actions…

So let me…

Students often remark that our lectures alone are worth the price of the course because we tell you like it really is and do not sugar coat the subject.

Those who have attended Front Sight’s courses and received our very thought provoking lecture entitled, “Problems 2 and 3: the Criminal and Civil Liability Following a Shooting” will undoubtedly agree that the mainstream news story covering the self defense shooting of two home invaders reads like a script right out of our lectures.

If you missed last Monday’s post of Interview with a Gunfighter, you can see it here:

If you…

Although I would not recommend that you ever sit down for an interview with the news media after killing two armed home invaders, the following unedited news video will teach you many important lessons.

The most important lessons you will glean from this personal, lethal encounter report include:

• Mindset is everything. (Note what he said to himself when he made the decision to fight.)

• Training is only second to mindset. (Note what he says about his training.)

• Action always beats reaction. (As long as you hit with your first shot.)

• In a Gunfight, Rule # 1 is HAVE A GUN. (Note what he…

If you have ever wanted a great “one-liner” to roll off your tongue when you are in a friendly but competitive debate with someone who is less than “pro-gun”, then you will love this blog post.

Over the years I have heard or received from students, members, and subscribers hundreds of great quotes, quips, and sage thoughts. Here is a compiled list of great one-liners for your use and enjoyment.

After reading them, e-mail me any of your favorite “pro-gun” one-liners that are not on this list, and forward this post to all your friends to do the same. In…

Memorial Day, May 26th, 2008

On this Memorial Day please remember all the patriotic men and women who gave everything they had to preserve and protect our freedom.

It is these men and women, not the government, who for love of family and country, have shed their blood from the Revolutionary War to Iraq.

I believe the greatest freedom won by our Founding Fathers and protected by every generation that followed them is the Second Amendment. Our right to bear arms equal to the government — musket for musket, M16 for M16 — is what separates us from all other countries…

Anyone who has attended a Front Sight Firearms Training Course will tell you that the lecture material alone is worth the price of the course.

Becoming more proficient with your weapon than 99% of the gun owning population is just one of the many bonuses Front Sight students receive.

This is especially true of the lecture concerning the Levels of Mental Awareness.

Why is this lecture so important? Because if you adopt what Front Sight teaches and you learn to live your life in a state of relaxed awareness, not only will criminals see that you are aware of your environment and leave…

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words …

I’m often asked why Front Sight students – average ordinary citizens – have gun handling, marksmanship and tactical skills that exceed law enforcement and military personnel.

The reason is that Front Sight Firearms Training Institute simply provides more training and better training than one can get in a police academy or the military and we provide it without any boot camp mentality or drill instructor attitudes.

Another way to look at it is to consider for a moment that law enforcement and military do not get as much or as good a training…

Where Have All the Air Marshals Gone?
Air Marshals Missing On Almost All Flights?
Less than 1% of Flights Have Air Marshals?

NOTHING, and I mean nothing, pisses me off more than seeing the government totally screw with our security, waste billions of dollars, and try to hide the problem, when I have a perfect, inexpensive, and immediate solution that will make all air travel safer, more secure and even reward those frequent flyers who keep the airlines in business.

BELIEVE ME when I say I have PERSONAL experience in…

Front Sight is making sure that the U.S. Supreme Court understands the absolute importance of not only firearms training in America today, but also gun ownership and why Americans must be allowed to possess firearms.
