Not making anything up. Just pointing out that identifying someone isn't necessarily a prerequisite to being justified in shooting them.You are free to make up any situation you want

I put my trust in my dogs more than thermal they are on alert if they think they heard something outside.
White light really isn't as much of a blinder as one might think, especially indoors. There's going to be so much splash off the walls, ceiling, and floor that everything, including the person holding the light will be lit up. This is easily testable at home with a flashlight.
Correct, sir.If it white lights were a real blinder no one would be able to drive in a city after dark, it would just be a big wad of cars mangled together.

That maybe but they had no problem finding the two kids in my wooded side lot quicker than I could with a thermal and made sure they did not go anywhere until the S.O. got em.You set this up like it was a binary sort of situation when it should not be. Ideally, you will have several tools at your disposal to use and not will fit all needs at all times.
Thermal/NV isn't a warning system. Dogs won't improve your vision after dark.
Mmkay. Well, I can't comment on your abilities or inabilities to run your thermal properly, but given the issue of photonic barriers (over illumination of the foreground at the expense of seeing things in the background, as would be common in the woods) you should have been able to see better and farther into the woods with thermal than a person with a flashlight.That maybe but they had no problem finding the two kids in my wooded side lot quicker than I could with a thermal and made sure they did not go anywhere until the S.O. got em.
What has being able to contain a situation got to do with a thermal scope? Expand on that for me does using thermal make a suspect freeze in their tracks??Mmkay.

I never said thermal had anything to do with containing a situation.What has being able to contain a situation got to do with a thermal scope? Expand on that for me does using thermal make a suspect freeze in their tracks??
I keep getting the feeling that if I am gonna need to use my night vision device (yes, I do have one, I'm a gear junkie) or thermal scope (hey, they're getting more affordable), it's a true Red Dawn situation or some government agency's Google Maps got screwed up and selected the wrong compound... Do I really need to say that night vision/thermal optics are not a top priority for my home defense?So how many of us are going to face an opponent who is equipped with the latest generation thermal imaging in CONUS? If that is the threat you are preparing for you are preparing to fight a government agency.
