Tactical crap not so crappy?

They also have a vested interest in selling various firearm accessories and doo-dads, since, you know, they're in a Magpul video.

Lol... You didn't watch the video, did you?

enough ambient light from both inside and outside the house

I don't need any light, plenty of ambient.
I suppose as long as the power never goes out that will work.

Why it is called ambient light- if the power is out not a lot to worry about.

If you want to imagine scenarios that defy the odds of a meteor hitting you as you cash your Powerball winning ticket, you go right ahead. Some of us are more interested in living a life not filled with fear and paranoia about some imagined scenario thought up by watching a video game

YMMV

I like how you compare the chances of a power outage to a meteor strike.

That really gives credibility to your post.

But seriously...you are quite out of line telling people that they live "a life filled with fear and paranoia" because they choose to put a light on their defensive firearm.

I wonder how many people would tell you that you are living a life filled with fear and paranoia for having a defensive firearm at all, actually...

Why do you feel you need to justify anything? It's your gun and your money, have at it. I chose to buy a portable generator. Last hurricane, the lights didn't go out, but they go out all the time on a clear day.

I also don't feel the need to stuff my bathing suit with a gun or have one in the shower or while I am on the toilet.........

What? You still haven't bought the Concealed Carry Underpants from Glock Store? Lenny Magill himself told you to!

I lived through more hurricanes in 2004 than most of you have in your lives and NEVER lost power, but if you want to tighten your tinfoil tighter, please feel free to go ahead......as I said SOME of us are not so paranoid to try and imagine scenarios so remote that we live our lives in constant fear that sometime, maybe some meth-head group will wait till a blackout to do a home invasion

We aren't you. I don't care what you've lived through or when you think you'll need a firearm. To say that it's paranoid to have a light on your firearm in the event that you have to use it during a power outage is as close-minded as every anti calling YOU paranoid for even owning a gun to begin with.

But the nice thing about this country is that you are free to do so, (until they classify you as paranoid take your guns away); but then I also don't feel the need to stuff my bathing suit with a gun or have one in the shower or while I am on the toilet.........
I'm too busy enjoying life

And I've been in a storm that left us without power for 6.5 days, as well as others that left us without power for periods of time ranging from a few hours to 2 days.

I also have lived in, or stayed at, many residences where even with regular ambient light you might not be able to identify the difference between a person with a gun, a possum, a deer, or a coyote in the backyard.

I'm with you... But I guess since he hasn't been in those situations it means that the rest of us never have either and are just exaggerating or recalling a dream
