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

Dr.Piazza;

I look forward to each gun training report you send to me and I have a special folder that I keep all of them in, in case I want to go back and check something out.   I have emailed you several times and you have answered each of them quite graciously.

I wanted to let you know that I always refer my friends, and any acquaintances that I’ve had discussions with, to your web-site, and the practical and professional way that you offer in order to teach gun owners all they need to know in order to defend themselves…

Dr. Piazza,

Again your FrontSight newsletter (#18) is right-on. While the .45 ACP has proven to be the most practical, man-stopping, handgun cartridge available, it pales in effectiveness to the 12 GA. shotgun and most rifle cartridges. I carried a .45 cal 1911 for most of my 20 yr. law enforcement career, but my mind set was to use it only when I couldn’t get to my shotgun. One of the serious flaws, in many departments, is the lack of emphasis on shotgun and rifle training. Typically handgun to long gun training is 10 to 1 in frequency and few departments…

Dr. Piazza,

I want to tell you how impressed I am with your gesture of helping us have a secure, safe place to worship and take fellowship. I have just signed up for your daily messages and “draw” a lot of good information from them. I can’t wait to come see your facility and participate in some/all of your courses. You are doing a great thing and helping many people, along with our 2nd Amendment rights. I am looking forward to meeting you and shaking your hand. Thanks for all you do!

The day after Columbine, I was the first to demand that school teachers be armed and trained. I backed up my demand by offering to train up to three school teachers from every school in America if their respective school districts would designate three of their teachers as School Safety Monitors and allow them to carry a concealed handgun as the first line of defense against school attacks.

Here is the original story that appeared about my offer in WorldNetDaily and numerous other main stream media sources.

In every public school there were teachers - some with previous military backgrounds -…

Dear Dr. Piazza,

I received your free DVD in the mail and just sat down and watched it. In fact, it excited me so much that I have watched it three times, twice with my kids and once alone. I plan to watch it with my wife when we can get an hour and a half of free time together.

Dr. Piazza, your strategy of a pro-active approach rather than continuing the downward spiral of a defensive approach to winning the Second Amendment war is simply brilliant. Your treatment of the media by making them attend a course as a…

Dr. Piazza,

This stuff is invaluable!

There are no better lessons than from the simple facts from real incidents.

Equipment, accuracy, training and practice, training and practice.

Having a piano doesn’t make you a musician.

Thanks!

Dear Dr Piazza,

I feel compelled to write to congratulate you on not only your impressive company but also your obvious knowledge, patriotism and attitude towards firearms and self-defense.

I am a recent arrival in the USA, having married a Californian and moving here from my native United Kingdom two years ago. At 38 years of age I am in the fortunate position of ‘re-starting’ my life, with the sale of my company in the UK and moving to the sun (although the weather does take some getting used to compared to England!). My ‘past life’ included a period in…

Today’s blog is for every Cop and Concealed Weapon Permit Holder who DOES NOT carry their weapon EVERYWHERE they go.

I know there are times when carrying a gun is uncomfortable and a significant inconvenience. Dealing with carrying a weapon in hot weather, while traveling on airlines, enjoying vacation, or exercising is not pleasant, but there is nothing worse than needing a gun and not having one. Shame on you if you are caught without your gun when it is needed to save your life or the lives of your loved ones — especially when you have been granted the right…

Ever since Pastor Tom Willcox of Covenant Presbyterian Church in Sharon, PA requested my help, resulting in me sending you the opportunity to help protect YOUR place of worship in exchange for Front Sight rewarding YOU with a $6,900 Challenge Lifetime Membership for Zero, Zip, Nada (that means for nothing) the phone has been ringing day and night with people calling and saying, “Sign me up for the 5 for 1 Challenge Memberships!”

We are also receiving a few questions over and over again so let me answer the most Frequently Asked Questions for you.

Question: What do I do…

Dr. Piazza,

Once again, superb training for careful consideration. The thing I’ve been most impressed with Front Sight training is the thoroughness and thoughtfulness of the examples used to illustrate when it is appropriate to present and use a weapon. I think the situation of the unarmed assailant is the most troublesome to ponder, but this example puts the problem in context.

My continued admiration.
