How did you get that from my post? What I wrote has nothing to do with that or the price of tea in China. You’re welcome to get as defensive as you like, but I have no disagreement with you vis-à-vis the topic of weapon mounted lights.
Part of it was too you, part of it was to Kleanbore.
I’m actually not getting defensive, pretty blase about it. It’s just strange to me that he has these opinions that aren’t really fully formed.
I’d rather be hearing about light techniques from FL-NC or Jeff White than talking about this stuff. Might be stuff I already know, might be some variation on it though.
As it is not much to be learned the way things are going. The topic is being led by someone who doesn’t even use a weapon mounted light and doesn’t think they have a place outdoors, so I’ll just kill notifications.
I find the scenario with your neighbor a curious one and lacking sufficient detail to get my head around.
It happened in the 80’s when I was a teenager. I grew up in Los Angeles. My mom’s neighborhood was great, my dads not so much. This happened in my dad’s neighborhood.
That neighbor was on the other side of us and his house was right next to a section 8 apt complex. He had a large fence and a grated gate. Couldn’t see though it too well. Mostly gangsters from that apt complex hung out inside the complex, on this particular night they were camped out on the wall separating the two properties getting high and drinking forty ounces. As soon as he went to check out his truck through that gate he ran smack into them and things went south pretty quick. He wasn’t an aggressive guy and he said he didn’t say anything rude or disrespectful to them. I believe him.
Older guy, not very big, no tats, white guy, alone and probably looked like a low risk target that they could mess with.
Maybe 6-8 gangsters, that gang was mostly Mexican. Older teens and early twenties. He got beat up some and stabbed and a couple of them got shot. One of the guys and one of their girlfriends. Bad lighting. I’m pretty sure the chick got shot by mistake. Who knows.
Nobody died. There was some talk of him getting charged. Nothing ended up coming of it IIRC.
A light might’ve saved her from getting lit up.
I have a couple personal experiences along the same lines, but nothing I really wanted to throw out there. I remembered that one pretty well simply because I was younger and the fact that he could potentially get charged by the police for protecting himself made a big impression on me.
No big deal though. Have a blessed Memorial Day.
You too
