Front Sight

Gun Training Instead of Locks, Security Systems or Bars on Windows

Imagine a community where no one needs to have locks on any of their doors. Imagine a place where the most advanced security system in town is a particular neighbor’s Boston Terrier. Imagine a 550-acre gated community where there is not a single house or business with bars on the windows. Imagine that same residential community having a K-12 school in which the teachers don’t need to be fearful of every unknown individual who steps onto school grounds. Now, in this town which you’ve imagined, does everyone own guns, or does no one own guns? Does everyone have comprehensive gun training, or do none of the citizens have any gun training at all – entirely untrained in firearms and unable to take advantage of their protective, defensive capacity?

Well, that community which you just imagined is real. Front Sight is a town in the Las Vegas area, and it is likely the world’s safest gated community. Violent crime, aggravated assault, rape, murder, larceny, they don’t exist. Why? Because Front Sight is, in addition to being a luxury residential community, the home of Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, America’s most successful shooting school.

Front Sight the town surrounds Front Sight the shooting school. Although no one living in Front Sight needs to own a firearm, most do, and they are all fully trained in their safe, responsible use. Any criminal anywhere near such a place would have to be an idiot to think he’d have any chance in robbing someone in the gated community of Front Sight.

Gun training makes citizens effective, responsible gun users. Front Sight’s gun training makes its citizens the most responsible, effective gun users in America. But that’s not to say that one needs to be a citizen of the community to receive the gun training Front Sight offers. Every year, Front Sight trains more students than all other shooting schools in America combined – there’s plenty of room for non-residents. (Note: Front Sight the town has not yet been completely built)
