The 911 operator telling the homeowner to put her gun down at the most crucial time in the home invasion was advise that could have killed the homeowner.  Good thing the homeowner listened to her gut and not the 911 operator.\n<\/li>\n<li> If you do not have a gun, GET ONE.  As this video shows, you never know when you are going to need a gun to protect yourself.\n<\/li>\n<li> Just having a gun is not enough.  You need to be trained.\n<\/li>\n<li> Training needs to include the mental preparation involved in making the proper decision when (and when not) to shoot AND the gun handling, marksmanship, and tactics to give you the ability to hit your opponent with your first shot(s) to stop him in his tracks should you be under attack.  This woman was very lucky that her lack of gun handling, marksmanship and tactics did not result in her demise when she was confronted with a criminal who was either too crazy or too drugged to recognize he was shot, and kept coming back for more.\n<\/li>\n<li> Your training also needs to move you mentally to a point of understanding that there is no shame or remorse in defending your life against anybody, whether you know them or not, should you be faced with someone breaking into your home&mdash;especially after you present a weapon, demand they leave, and fire shots at them.\n<\/li>\n<li> I wish the woman in this video had experienced Front Sight&rsquo;s training PRIOR to her lethal confrontation as she would not have been as rattled throughout her ordeal and would have understood, during the confrontation and  when it was all over, that she did the right thing.  Fortunately for her she did not listen to the 911 operator and her lack of marksmanship in her first volley of shots did not result in the loss of her life.\n<\/li>\n<li> In fact, I wish EVERY responsible American gun owner knew that for $159 we will give them a lifetime of training and bring their skill with a handgun to levels that surpasses that of law enforcement and military personnel. Videos like this one remind me that we have a very noble purpose and have much work to do.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you want a lifetime of training with the handgun for just $159, then jump on this FINAL OFFER TODAY because it WILL sell out in the next day or so&hellip;\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"padding-left:20px;\">\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1em\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.frontsight.com\/mid-week-handgun\/\">Mid-Week Defensive Handgun Lifetime Membership<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1em\"><span style=\"text-decoration:line-through\">Mid-Week Legacy Lifetime Membership<\/span> <strong>SOLD OUT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1em\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.frontsight.com\/bronze\/\">Foreclosed Bronze Membership<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>If you already have a lifetime training membership with us, share this offer with everyone you know so they too can have the confort of skill at arms. <\/p>\n<p>Grab the  lifetime membership that best fits your interest and budget today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Again, this offer may sell out with no further notice so DO NOT hesitate.
