My property is pretty well light, so anybody entering the house is skyling...But I do keep an Olight next to my 9.
Being an officer you have no restrictions muzzle covering anyone. As a civilian, I have restrictions. The problem is, I was trained as an officer so the muzzle covering comes naturally. Now the issue I have was there were no weapon-mounted lights for us unless you duct taped a Kel Light to your gun. I carry a Surefire 6P, The same Surefire I had on duty.I don’t know or care what Cooper said.
I have cleared houses at night (as we are prone to conducting raids at night), and the idea of NOT having a light on a gun you intend to use at all hours is monumentally stupid.
Gun
Sling
Optic
Light
This is the absolute bare minimum. All else is just icing on the cake but a gun without a light is…it’s retarded.
Well, I see the need for the gun, optic, and light . . . but me be thinkin' the sling thing is a bit muchI don’t know or care what Cooper said.

I quit listening to the traditional firearm safety rules a long time ago.Over on the Firearms Chat forum there is thread titled, “What is your current bedside "go time" pick?”.
I’m seeing lots of guns pictured with or described as having flashlights attached. Rather than jack the thread I thought I would come to the Self Defense & Handgun Carry forum with a question.
Admittedly, the last time I gave much thought to this issue was in the 1990’s. At that time, I was convinced that flashlights on guns were ill advised. It was reported that folks in high stress situations couldn’t seem to resist using the flashlight as a flashlight and therefore muzzle covering all kinds of things and possibly people they did not intend to shoot.
What is the current thinking regarding flashlights on guns, especially vis-à-vis Cooper’s second rule of gun safety?
They're pretty easily sourced these days. I have a couple or three that are IWB and quite comfy/concealable.My biggest concern isnt necessarily the added weight, but having to get a holster that accomodates the light.
