Dr. Ignatius Piazza is Ready to Deliver World-Class Rifle Training

One could likely make the argument that rifles are, apart from muskets or bows and arrows before them, the classic gun, and rifle training has always been basic. Take frontier America. A man's homestead was his own, but he couldn't defend or protect it until he was armed, and in those days, the best defense was a rifle and a keen eye. Rifle training in those days was not exactly what we have the potential for today. Rifle training came in the form of shooting at cans, gophers and coyotes from one's porch. But nevertheless, when riflemen, minutemen, were needed, the minimal rifle training they had was enough.

Dr. Ignatius Piazza is the founder and director of Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, the nation's largest gun training school. Dr. Piazza's pet project, Front Sight, started as a dream to educate and deliver firearms training that would safeguard and protect thousands of innocent law-abiding citizens. What it has evolved into is exactly that, to the power of ten. Front Sight offers handgun training, special pistol training, rifle training, shotgun training and unarmed and armed self defense training. Front Sight delivers gun training to more students annually than all other shooting schools in the nation combined. Dr. Piazza's dream has become a reality over and over again; thousands of families are safer and more protected because of students attending Front Sight.

But Dr. Piazza isn't content with just educating people. He wants America to be safe. He knows, and tries to stress to his students and clients, that there was a time in America when it was both normal and expected to carry a gun in a town. While that was a more dangerous time, it wasn't the presence of guns that made it dangerous. When was the change where it became terrifying to see a man carry a rifle. Dr. Piazza can't imagine why someone would be wary of a gun-toting citizen, and knows that with firearms training for the nation, no one would ever have to be.
