Dr. Piazza,<\/p>\n
I attended a Front Sight 4-Day Defensive Handgun course about three weeks ago and received my CCW permit about a week later. Last weekend I was with my wife and son at a fast food restaurant. As we were eating, my son mentioned to my wife that I was carrying my gun. This was the first time that I had carried the gun. My wife doesn’t yet understand why I would carry a gun. She asked, “So if that guy in line over there pulled a gun on the cashier, you’d shoot him?” I explained to her that, based on the training I received at Front Sight, I would not shoot him. Rather, I would get her and my son safely behind the booth and watch to see what the robber would do. If, and only if, I perceived that he was going to do harm to someone would I pull my weapon. I told her that, becasue of my Front Sight training, I am confident enough in my skills that if I felt we were in danger of immediate harm I could deliver two center mass hits before the robber could react. I told her that most likely he would just take the money and leave.<\/p>\n
Then yesterday I read your blog about the incident at the Burger King restaurant in Florida. I showed this to my wife and for the first time she started to realize why it was so important to me to get trained at Front Sight. I believe that if you are going to carry a gun, you need to have the best training possible. I definitely received this at Front Sight.<\/p>\n
I have already referred several friends to Front Sight. One is taking the 4-Day Defensive Handgun course in two weeks. Several others are planning to take it in the coming months. I have a goal to become a Front Sight member as soon as it is financially feasible.<\/p>\n
Thank you for the great training that you offer and for your support and defense of the 2nd Ammendment. You are truely a great American!<\/p>\n
