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…

The Second Amendment Means What it Says…

My good friend Alan Gottlieb of the Second Amendment Foundation told me several weeks ago when we were discussing the upcoming Heller Decision over some cold (soft) drinks, that he felt we would get a 5-4 decision in favor of the Second Amendment. Alan was right.

This is a great day for gun owners and freedom. Our forefathers are smiling from above. Give yourself a pat on the back and then get to work!

There is still much to be done to further restore the Second Amendment, remove…

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…

Dear Dr. Piazza,

I’m really no one special, not a celebrity, high profile businessman or a member of the armed forces. I’m just a guy who cares deeply about protecting myself, my family and loved ones. In all reality, I’m usually the guy who criminals see as a target.

The one thing I have always feared the most is the inability to act when my life is threatened. Running through the scenarios in my head I always freeze and am unable to pull the trigger, or fight back, or defend myself. In a real life situation that happened to me…

Dr. Piazza,

I just wanted to say that I absolutely LOVE receiving the gun training reports and reading your blog. I recently accepted a Loss Prevention Security Specialist position at my place of employment and the information is very informative. I am not allowed to carry a weapon on the job but the tips that you give in your reports and your blog will be very helpful in helping me to recognize a potentially dangerous person or situation. Thank you so much and keep up the awesome job in helping to protect our second ammendment rights.
Sincerely,
Melissa D

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:

Firemen, Cops, Housewives and Kids at Front Sight…

Who should train at Front Sight? Well if you ask me, I will tell you that Front Sight is not for everyone, nor do we want just “anyone” taking courses with us.

We want law abiding gun owners who desire the absolute best in firearms training and appreciate an organization who does everything possible to improve the skills of
each and every student attending a course.

Here are three examples of more than a thousand satisfied students we have trained in just the…

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…

With Obama’s church (or ex-church) and its pastors who use the pulpit to further their divisive and racist agenda, I thought you would like to know that Front Sight recently ran a Four Day Defensive Handgun course for a group of pastors and their families.

Here is an unsolicited letter I received from one of the pastors attending the course…

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…
