I have to ask..
Why not get an alarm, hook the security lights inside and out side to the alarm? If you think light helps (and I do) why not a premeptive strike and light up the whole place with the alarm?
Everybody wants a pistol/shotgun/rifle with a light..why not light the whole house which will deter most burglars immeadiatly?
I see the purpose and the application, but sometimes I wonder if it isnt an excuse to buy more guns and gear and not to deter or stop a crime in progress.
In my opinion if you are counting on screwing around with a flashlight in the dark then you have lost already.
1)Got an alarm?
2)Lights hooked to the alarm?
3)Dog ?
4)Secure locks on every door inside and out with solid doors?
5)A safe room or a secure retreat to a safer room?
6)A first aid kit?
7) Cell Phone and Land line?
8) Training in First aide?
9) Know your legal responcabilites before you discharge that firearm, know how to answer (or more importantly NOT) questions after you've shoot that burglar?
10) Are the Wife and kids trained to react to the threat, answer LEO questions after the attack?
I just dont see the pistol with a flashlight attatched as one of my top ten priorites.
I could do alot of the same things listed above for the very same or nearly the money spent and that would go alot further protecting my home and family.
