It is too bad that owning a gun and being trained to use a gun is looked down upon. If it wasn&#8217;t, the crime rate would go down drastically.<\/p>\n<p>I believe that citizens should have full and easy access to firearms in order to protect themselves.  Training should also be widely available for all citizens &#8211; young and old &#8211; to ensure the safe use of firearms.  Together this will lead to less gun related injuries and deaths.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Rebecca, Age 12\" id=\"image194\" style=\"float: left\" src=\"https:\/\/ignatius-piazza-front-sight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rebeccastickley.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t understand why the government is being small minded and making it harder for private citizens to own a gun, because criminals aren&#8217;t going to wait, get the permit and do all the proper paper work required. They are just going to get a gun off the black market.<\/p>\n<p>Thus law abiding citizens are put at a disadvantage once again.<\/p>\n<p>To me a Front Sight training course means that I would get the proper training to defend my self in a dangerous situation. It would probably help me with aim too. (Which I need a lot!)<\/p>\n<p>When I see a handgun I think that it is a means of defending myself. That, in general just makes me feel a lot safer.<\/p>\n<p>My Dad and brother have both had fantastic training at Front Sight.  I am looking forward to my first opportunity!<\/p>\n<p>Rebecca Stickley age 12<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Rebecca Stickley What the Second Amendment means to me is the freedom to own a gun, to be able to shoot a gun, and to be able to defend myself.
