Dear Explorer,

Meet the students of Marsh Fork Elementary School in Sundial, West Virginia. These children have hopes of becoming doctors, directors, and even zoologists, but the very environment in which they learn may compromise their dreams. The school is located beneath a precarious toxic coal slurry pond and 150 feet away sits a coal loading silo that releases hazardous coal dust.

With support from the Annenberg Foundation, explore.org has provided a grant to re-locate and re-build the school in the safe environment that these children and their dreams deserve.

40 Hours of Live Handgun Training for Only $89


40 Hours of Live Handgun Training for Only $89...
Ignatius Piazza
Dr. Ignatius Piazza
Founder & Director

Dear Responsible American Citizen,

I'm extremely happy to provide this amazing, unbelievable and unprecedented offer to you because it once again proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Front Sight Organization is more than just a commercial entity in the business of firearms training. We live our stated purpose to positively change the image of gun ownership in our lifetimes by training responsible Americans to levels of firearms expertise that exceed law enforcement and military standards.

As those who have watched us grow from 10 students in our first, Two Day Defensive Handgun course way back in April of 1996 to now training THOUSANDS of citizens each and every month will attest, Front Sight lives and breathes our stated purpose and we have proven it over and over again with all the amazing offers we have provided in the last 14 years.

THIS offer is truly the greatest training opportunity I have ever provided and is the greatest single step to date toward positively changing the image of gun ownership in our lifetimes, because it makes Front Sight's training available to anyone who wants it.

Yes, this amazing offer can be yours and can also be available for every member of your family and all your friends, but you must respond immediately to take advantage of it.

Now before I provide all the details of this most amazing, unbelievable and unprecedented offer in the history of the firearms training industry, please allow me to make a few important points perfectly clear:

  1. You only have one shot at this. I will be watching the response very closely. Because this is such an unbelievable offer I expect it will go viral throughout the firearms community and get millions of views. Those who want the very best in firearms training for themselves, their family and friends will immediately respond to take advantage of it and be very glad they did. As this happens, and the total number of fortunate individuals who act immediately matches the number of offers I have set aside, I will close out the offer by removing this link and shutting down the registration page. So do not hesitate or procrastinate because this offer can close out at any time.
  2. You will be asking yourself, "WHY is Dr. Piazza doing this?" Front Sight is doing this simply to make our training more accessible to you, your family and friends so we can positively change the image of gun ownership and restore the Second Amendment in our lifetimes. Get on board with us. Get yourself trained. Get your family trained and be part of the thousands who leave Front Sight every month positively changed with the Comfort of Skill at Arms and go back to their respective communities across the country, as walking, talking representatives of what gun ownership and the Second Amendment is all about. Be a part of Front Sight's amazing growth and impact. I want YOU to be a part of our organization and I am making it irresistible for you to do so.
  3. You will be asking yourself "HOW can Dr. Piazza do this?" I've been nicknamed the "Millionaire Patriot" by the hundreds of thousands of students Front Sight has trained over the years because I have provided tens of millions of dollars in free and discounted training so that good people-- responsible Americans-- can have a level of skill at arms that exceeds that of our own military and law enforcement communities. I believe to my core that the armed and expertly trained citizen is the backbone of our country. I can make this offer because we have the facility to do so and each and every member of the Front Sight Organization feels the same way I do about the importance of training you and your family. We also know that once you experience the professionalism of Front Sight's stellar staff, the outstanding curriculum, and the compassionate and caring manner in which we treat you and your family, you will want to return for all of our courses. We look at you as a lifetime student and therefore can provide an amazing, unbelievable and unprecedented training opportunity to you upfront, knowing that your lifetime of participation with us will return the goodwill ten fold. For 14 years Front Sight has operated in this manner and we have doubled every year, so we know that our goodwill toward you will come back ten fold to us.
  4. What I am offering you is NOT a training manual or a training DVD or an on-line virtual training experience. What I am offering you is Front Sight's world famous, supervised, intensive, expertly delivered, hands-on firearms training experience over four positively life-changing days! It is EXACTLY the same outstanding training, on the same outstanding facilities, with the same outstanding staff as the training we have provided every weekend to hundreds of thousands of people over the last 14 years. So when you read the amazing, unbelievable, and unprecedented offer below, DO NOT make the mistake of hesitating or procrastinating because it sounds too good to be true or you will be kicking yourself forever when your friends (who did not hesitate to take advantage of it) come home and tell you what you missed. This is real, live, hands-on firearms training over four days that will leave you with gun handling, marksmanship and tactical skills that exceed law enforcement and military standards without any boot camp mentality or drill instructor attitudes, SO RESPOND IMMEDIATELY!

Now that you have allowed me to make those points perfectly clear here is the most amazing, unbelievable and unprecedented offer in the history of the firearms training industry...

If you respond immediately, you can attend Front Sight's Four Day Defensive Handgun Course and over four full days of expertly delivered live-fire range drills, live-fire tactical simulators, and extremely interesting, educational and thought-provoking lectures, leave with a level of Skill at Arms with the handgun that far exceeds law enforcement and military standards.

This Four Day Defensive Handgun Course is the same course that normally sells for $2,000.

This Four Day Defensive Handgun Course is the same course that starts at 7:30am each day and ends after 6:00pm each day (except on the third evening, which ends two hours AFTER dusk due to low light and night firing exercises), for over 40 hours of expertly supervised, hands-on firearms training that is GREAT for the entire family!

This Four Day Defensive Handgun Course is the same course that hundreds of thousands of our students rave about and return to Front Sight regularly to attend again, bringing family and friends with them.

This Four Day Defensive Handgun Course is the same course that Marine Corps officers and SWAT officers (paying their own money) attend to receive a level of training they cannot get in their own departments.

This Four Day Defensive Handgun Course is the same course that is perfect for the entire family because of the caring and compassionate manner in which you are treated by Front Sight's stellar staff.

This Four Day Defensive Handgun Course is for YOU and every member of your family and all your friends IF YOU RESPOND IMMEDIATELY.

So what is this $2,000 Four Day Defensive Handgun Course that provides you with over 40 hours of intensive, expertly delivered and supervised training by Front Sight's stellar staff on Front Sight's world class facilities, in a caring and compassionate manner, that is great for the entire family going to cost you?

Only $89. I will spell it out so you know it is not a typo... Eighty Nine Dollars.

That's right, only $89. https://www.myfrontsight.com/secure/greatest.php

Tell me, where else in the firearms training industry have you ever seen ANYONE offer the masses over 40 hours of intensified, hands-on, expertly delivered and supervised handgun training by the best firearms training instructors in the industry on arguably the best training facilities in the industry, provided in a compassionate and caring manner that is perfect for every member of the family for only $89?

(Here is where you are going to start talking to yourself, asking WHY is Dr. Piazza doing this? and HOW can Dr. Piazza do this? And while you are asking yourself all these questions, the other 322,513 subscribers to my Gun Training Reports are securing your course for themselves... Quit doubting my intentions and take advantage of the offer before all the courses are grabbed and I have to shut down this page.)

And once you secure your course, it has no expiration date, so you attend it when convenient for you in the future. The only restriction is you must attend the course mid-week, Monday through Thursday.

There is great benefit to attending mid week with hotels having lower rates, flights having lower fares and rental cars being more accessible with lower costs.

So Grab YOUR $89 Four Day Defensive Handgun Course NOW

https://www.myfrontsight.com/secure/greatest.php

So what's the catch? Honestly there is no catch. I have done my best to try to explain Front Sight's Purpose and the WHY and HOW of this offer. The fact that we can now offer mid-week courses doubles the training opportunities for our lifetime members and those students who have certificates to attend our courses--and gives you the training opportunity of a lifetime.

If you have ever wanted to gain a level of skill with a handgun that exceeds the levels found in the law enforcement and military community, and you want it delivered in a caring and compassionate manner that is great for your entire family, and you want to save money on travel and lodging in the process by taking advantage of this amazing, unbelievable and unprecedented opportunity to attend over 40 hours of Front Sight's Four Day Defensive Handgun Course mid-week, Monday through Thursday for a one-time-only offer of $89, and you want to attend right now or in the future when it is convenient for you, THEN RESPOND IMMEDIATELY. https://www.myfrontsight.com/secure/greatest.php
