Being skilled with a gun is equally   important.  Both of these videos show what happens when you miss with   your first shot.  In these cases the criminals fled, but had the home   invaders been a more dedicated breed of bad guy, the miss could have   proved deadly for the homeowner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1em\">So,   HAVING A GUN and BEING TRAINED to use it to levels that exceed law   enforcement and military standards is the answer to protecting yourself   and your family against the criminal world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1em\">Also,   remember that you are only justified to use deadly force when you are   in immediate danger of death or serious bodily injury.  Shooting at   someone as they are running or driving away from your home is not   justified in most jurisdictions because when they flee, they are no   longer posing a threat to you.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1em\">When   you attend a course at Front Sight, we will teach you how to present   your weapon from concealment and fire two, sighted shots to the center   of mass of your target in 1.5 seconds.  We will also teach when NOT to   shoot.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1em\">I   hope you also noted the common ploy the criminals used to size up their   victims. In both of these cases, the criminals visited their intended   victims under false pretenses and later came back to invade their homes. <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1em\">If you want the mindset and skill at arms to protect yourself, your home and your family, then get a 30 State Concealed Weapons Permit, the world class training that Front Sight provides, and a Springfield Armory XD Pistol! <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1em\">To get it all, take advantage of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.frontsight.com\/free-gun.asp\">Front Sight&#8217;s Greatest Course, Gun and CCW Permit Offer Ever<\/a>.
