No doubt all will be accomplished.

On number 3- I think that every cop in America should be qualified and train regularly on the rifle. It's the weapon of the day for good reason. Increased range, accuracy, capacity, speed of reloads, and optical enhancement capability, and the ability to penetrate armor and makeshift barriers with proper ammo selection make it THE go to weapon in high risk situations. Of course, this is all for nothing if a department does not support regular training. That's pre-qual training, regular qual, AND additional training thru the year. In-house and outside training, especially for instructors and tac units.

There, I'm off my soap box now. I am glad you're full on about getting up and running with a department long gun. Nor am I surprised.
