You have more training than the vast majority of concealed carry folks. I can respect the trade off in safety you choose to embrace, though I still think that you perceive yourself as a vigilante or entitled enforcement entity rather than a defensive citizen. Lights in general just aid the enemy in knowing where to point the rifle barrage that is likely coming in response to your shot or two. With a revolver there is no clearing a defective round, just click and move on. This is not as much a discussion on equipment as it is a discussion on the perceived role of the citizen defender. The nuance is important.

I'm not a vigilante, but, I'm also not going to shy away from danger. I carry to protect. If I need to, I will do by best to put down anyone who is doing or attempting to do harm to myself, my family, or in certain circumstances, my property.

In most cases, there are no rifles. If there is little doubt of not than one attacker, a proper light is a force multiplier. And I get to choose to use it or not, depending on the circumstances.

I try to think ahead and think this through so if something happens, there's less active thinking. I flip through my already determined check list, and can very quickly decide if it's flight or fight.

Solid. I’d be happy to share a public forum with a person like you, however I do think there are many who are misguided and pose a threat to themselves and others with good intentions and bad practices.

Yes. For sure. But I'm still glad to set more people taking on the responsibility of being their own first responder.

I would rather everyone have a .22Lr pistol confidently carried than something dangerous, unsafely and unmanageably carried.

The Beave 2y ago

Maybe.
