I've only been a member for a few months. I appreciate the sharing of information electronically, so that I may learn and be educated on my own and at my own pace. I also enjoyed the class I attended at a sportsman's club. Learning from actual encounters and other members is very helpful. I would recommend membership to family or friends for the previous reasons, and because I believe we all should be prepared to stand up and defend our country and our families if this world is to survive.
