Stay Safe: Get Self Defense Training

Self defense training is one of those things that just makes sense. Don't want to get your face punched in? Get self defense training. Don't want to stand by and watch your brother get his butt kicked? Get self defense training. Don't want to have to shiver, terrified, as someone grimaces at you behind a neck full of muscles? Get self defense training. But what about if you don't want to have to shiver with fear at the other end of a gun if - god forbid - one is ever pointed at you? Get firearms training.

Dr. Ignatius Piazza is the founder and director of Front Sight Firearms Training Institute. Front Sight is by far the largest firearms training school in America. Front Sight delivers gun training to more students annually than all other shooting schools in America combined. Dr. Ignatius Piazza is of the opinion, and this opinion coincides with that of most trained Americans, that gun training is self defense training. He feels that in order for a person to be fully safeguarded and protected against all potential threats, he needs firearms training that will teach him how to not only keep himself safe, but keep those around him safe.

While firearms are typically conceived to be offensive tool, Dr. Piazza knows that firearms are not dangerous, they are simply tools that can be made offensive, defensive or neutral, depending on the user. If the user is well-trained and responsible, then the firearm is not something to be feared, but something to be respected. In Dr. Piazza's opinion, if laws regarding firearms training and firearms possession were more lax, citizens would be safer. This is because of the simple fact that only law-abiding citizens abide by laws. A criminal who already breaks the law and kills someone is not going to suddenly abide by the law of firearm possession. A criminal intent upon robbing or harming you will not be deterred by laws concerning firearms. Therefore, law-abiding citizens should have just as good a chance as the next person to keep themselves safe. That's Dr. Piazza's stance, and that's why he devotes his life to delivering self defense training that happens to take the form of firearms training.
