I look at a light as a way to follow through on Rule #4 so I do not shoot people that do not need to be shot.Why do you think you need a light on your gun? I look at a light as a target at night or dark areas. You have a light on your pistol, you are using it, where is your body? Light on long gun, most are to the left a very few to the right side. Very few bad guys are using a light. Lights show where you are as a target! Just my thoughts from being shot at and shoting back in my youth!
If you use a light is on a pistol or long gun?
If you have a light on your gun or in your hand your body will be behind the light.
I don't care if bad guys are not using lights. I am not a bad guy and do not want to be sent to prison for acting like a bad guy. I train so I do not fight. I train so I learn how to maximize the use of the light.
Just because you have a light does not mean that one must turn it on.
You are a target. Best to understand cover, optimally best not to fight.
