If you hear a bump in the night and illuminate it with a carry mounted light, and it's your three year old kid, your pointing a gun at your kid.

No. I see this statement all the time from people without training and experience with WML's. You do not have to cover something to ID it. Think of WML's as an eye. There is a large area of "peripheral vision" used for PID

I run a tlr-1 on my nightstand weapon. Ive trained a little with a seperate flashlight in the various accepted techniques but I just can't duplicate speed and accuracy of two hands on the weapon. Especially when shooting and moving. Even worse when reloading. I think weapon retention suffers as well. My 2 cents.

I don't have any guns with rails and don't plan on having a light attached for daily carry. I don't have a light on nightstand gun either, but do keep a flashlight there.

That is an interesting concept. The large area of peripheral vision is something I hadn't considered.
