A widely accepted fact in the gun and firearm industry is that education equals safety. In fact, this rule applies to any industry, and any job. Dr. Piazza and Front Sight Firearm Training Facility understand this. Dr. Piazza is a former chiropractor who realized that too many civilians are unable to knowledgeably and responsibly handle a firearm. This inability and irresponsibility can only lead to disasters and, unfortunately, headlines. With this in mind, in 1996, Piazza founded Front Sight Firearm Training Facility. Through the education that any civilian can receive from Piazza and Front Sight, America has become a considerably safer place to live. Since then, Front Sight has become an enormous powerhouse, annually turning out more trained firearms users than all other facilities in America combined.



The idea that education equals safety is one that any worker in any industry can understand. An untrained factory worker is one that could very easily lose a limb. An uneducated truck driver is one that could end lives – his own and others. An untaught electrician could easily find his life end in a very surprising, even shocking, way. A soldier without training and understanding of his weapon could wind up killing himself, a comrade or an innocent. A civilian handling a firearm is in the exact same position. Untrained, uneducated, untaught, he is potentially lethal in the handling of any firearm.

Piazza is extremely successful in the field of education and firearm training. The statistics offered by Front Sight’s website, FrontSight.com and Ignatius Piazza’s website, IgnatiusPiazza.com, are nothing short of impressive: “We now train more students each year than all the other shooting schools in the US combined while we develop the world's greatest facilities on 550 acres near Las Vegas, Nevada and expand the finest instructional staff in ANY industry."

Their training is indeed top-notch, with instructors with decades of experience in police, SWAT, Marines, and more, their organization is run by and its students are trained by the finest teachers anywhere. “The criteria for graduation from Front Sight's Instructor Development Course are so far above the industry standard, that fewer than one out of ten participants make the grade in their first attempt. Even seasoned law enforcement and military instructors are humbled, yet grateful for the experience to learn what it takes to be part of the greatest instructional staff ever assembled in any industry."

Piazza’s professional experience as a chiropractor illustrates why he would be inspired to a engage in a field like training and education. Any health-care practitioner can tell you the importance of excellent education and responsibility. A patient entrusts a doctor with his life and well-being, it is the doctor that must be fully capable to handle the patient’s health and body. Piazza takes the same professionalism one would expect of any doctor and applies it to his firearms training facility. His graduates are capable, responsible very well-trained firearms users.

The Front Sight Firearm Training Facility is a brilliantly conceived, very well-planned school that anyone should be eager to attend. Dr. Ignatius Piazza has an excellent track record and a training institute that far surpasses anything else in the nation. As any graduate of Front Sight will tell you, Piazza is making America considerably safer through the use of education and training; for education equals safety.
