[QUOTE="Jgibs0321, post: 4109567, member: 49409"] I quit listening to the traditional firearm safety rules a long time ago. 1. Treat your weapon or firearm as it is whatever the condition, know the condition in full. 2. If youre not willing to destroy it, dont point it there. 3. Dont touch the trigger until youre committed to the shot. These rules scare people who havent ran around with loaded guns while shooting and moving and maneuvering in buildings, boats, mountains, open ground, etc., Id rather have a light on a gun than not because you probably shouldnt be firing a gun into the dark in the United States. To those who argue “it gives away my position”, say that in court and I bet they hit you with “so you were ambushing said person and was fully conscious that you werent in danger?”. No matter what, if you decide to face a threat at home, at some point by firing a shot, making a verbal command, or shining a light, cracking a door open, turning a knob, stumbling over that random thing someone left on the floor, etc., has the potential or outright will, give away your position and put you at risk of getting shot, punched, stabbed, whatever. Lights are on all of my go to rifles and pistols just in the event I have a low light problem that needs identification. As with all things, Id rather have it and not need it than to need it and not have it! My opinion of course [/QUOTE]
