Dear Dr. Ignatius Piazza,<\/p>\n
I am 74 years old and have owned and shot long guns, shotguns and handguns since I was 9 years old when my dad gave me my first 16 Ga. double barreled shotgun.\u00a0 I slept with it that night. The following year, he gave me my first 0.22 rifle.<\/p>\n
After reading your fifth report, I think I would classify myself as Consciously Incompetent.\u00a0 I have always taken care of my guns, kept them clean, and kept then in a safe place in a gun cabinet, locked where our children could not get them, though they could look.\u00a0 I have kept a handgun readily available in the bedroom with ammo in a different place, but near.<\/p>\n
I joined the NRA when I was nine, and shot in the competitions with a 0.22 Mossberg and was a very distinguished marksman for a kid shooting targets.<\/p>\n
However, one of the things I learned even at that young age that has stayed with me is the need for training from someone who was much better than I.<\/p>\n
Many years have passed.\u00a0 I have some beautiful racks on my home office wall,\u00a0 and I have some nice weapons.\u00a0 However, that lingering desire for more training still goes with me.<\/p>\n
Why haven’t I taken the time out to go get more training?\u00a0 Simply because the few training courses I took were through a range, and I felt that I knew more and could shoot better than my instructor yet I knew that there was more – somewhere.\u00a0 As the years went by, I was a busy corporate executive, the CEO of a very large aerospace company, we had five children, and I was doing business in 44 countries, so weapons training took a back seat – way back!<\/p>\n
Now, even though I have had a debilitating SCUBA diving accident and am wheelchair bound, that little voice in my head and heart is still calling. I want and need more weapons training, specifically handgun.\u00a0 Then, I just happened to run across Front Sight when doing a search on the internet.<\/p>\n
I have been looking to buy another handgun with a laser to overcome my lack of shooting skills at night and under possible stress.\u00a0 I immediately signed up for your 15 training reports.\u00a0 I just completed #5 and have viewed all the videos.\u00a0 You are it!!\u00a0 Front Sight is what has been calling me all these years.\u00a0 You are that little voice in my heart and head.<\/p>\n
I am trying to put together a way to get to Las Vegas from Florida.\u00a0 My accident prohibits my flying except when pressurized to sea level AND from driving or sitting in a car for any length of time.\u00a0 BUT … I will find a way … some way to get to Front Sight.<\/p>\n
For what you have given me so far just through these reports, Thank you, very much.\u00a0 I don’t know how or when, but I will see you at Front sight.<\/p>\n
