Why M4Carbine.net? Simple, wealth of info, snobs are on other sites, if someone is in need of help, it's here for the asking. There is no stupid question and for the most part, no stupid answer, however on occasion someone is put down, (usually by someone who is new or lacks the qualities that he will learn and is normally used on this site, and will be politely reminded by a staff or senior member). I am a member of other sites but this one is my favorite. Me 21 years Military then Medical Discharge with %100 Service Connected. After that, well not much I can do but work the computer and learn more about weapons and shooting same. I am life member of the DAV and NRA and have not yet begun to collect enough weapons to satisfy me or fill my safe. Next?
Disregard, clicked on the wrong thread.

In a word, the professionalism. Lurked at several sites, this is the one I kept coming back to for just that reason. Most substance, least BS. Members are helpful and insightful.
7 yrs in airline industry in my past life
2 yrs reserve municipal LEO
4+ yrs full time municipal LEO
Field Training Officer for past 3 yrs -trained 14 police officers
backup/substitute Range Safety Ofc. for PD's AR-15 training & qual course
No HSLD firearms training, it's all "my time my dime" (consequently I'm transitioning to a more training oriented PD)
Several HSLD tactics oriented courses as LEO
I spent a year trying to join the Army (unsuccessfully) and I am pretty sure I know exactly the location you refer to. I experienced a little of that myself. I suppose that's the price to be paid for the knowledge.
I am borderline addicted to this site and very much appreciate the opportunity to read the writtings of so many qualified individuals. It is my hope that I will have the chance to train under/with some of you in the future.
