Welcome aboard, @8thFA. We are happy to help. Poke around to find answers for topics that you didn't know to ask about. During my wait, I carried a blue gun that get used to the weight and to learn to avoid the 'pat'. You'll find a lot of DE law discussions, situational mindsets (color codes) and some self-defense situations. You were unfortunate to join the forum during one of our few spats. In my observations, we are well-mannered here compared to other gun forums and far better than the few liberal forums that I have visited. Courteousy is contagious here. Enjoy.
