The only time I have ever gotten bashed on this forum is in the General Discussions area when talking politics, which is to be expected. That aside I have found that most everyone on this forum is very amiable when it comes to questions about guns. Granted some people are quick to be abrupt, or gruff, but so what. The way I look at the gun info on this forum is that I am a guest in someone's shop, or classroom. I am among giants when I think of some of the people that have taken the time to write and answer my questions!!! And I have found that saying I am new always results in people helping me out politely. For example, I asked what an accurate site picture looked like using iron sites, and I got a very great set of responses. How much more newbie can you get???
As for this thread, it's like the Energizer Bunny...![]()
I guess one of my problems is that I never feel like I am among giants in any situation. I do feel that I am in a class room and that most people are trying to teach me the right way ( in there perspective) and I appreciate that information. I do know that much of the info I get on the internet has to be taken with a grain of salt. However, from my experience on this forum there are people who are willing to answer newbie questions with positive feed back even if they have been asked the same question over and over many times.
I hope it doesnt sound like I am down on this forum? Because I am not, otherwise I wouldnt be here at this time. This forum has helped me a great deal and I will always adivse others to come here for help and information.
With that being said I will stop hijacking this thread.And go back to reading the post in the forums and learning from the more experienced personnel.

I look at the persons background that is posted in their profile. If they are a firearms trainer, industry professional or a fellow LEO then I give their words more weight. Others I give less weight to regardless of their status as a moderator or regular member.

...and that's 100% cool.
Just take into account that sometimes there are some passionate disagreements on some questions...as you can see in this thread. The question itself can sometimes be a lightning rod moreso than the individual asking it.
M4C is here to answer questions and help people find good information in the vast sea of bad info that surrounds us.![]()
