[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 3062057, member: 1132"] I'd just like to point out that Spencer has a LOT of training and is responsible for bringing a lot of quality defensive shooting instructors to Oklahoma for our benefit. I value his opinion quite a bit and I'm not attacking him or his position. He has valid information on the subject and we should listen to it. I do however recognize that tactics change and evolve almost continually. Sometimes for the good and sometimes because theories are developed that aren't borne out by [U]all[/U] the relevant data from the street. Simply put, poor tactics can get you killed by an aggressor, no light, handheld or WML. My questions are merely to test the beliefs held and make people think critically about those beliefs. In this case, most people are over-reliant on artificial light, whether it's handheld or WML. I'd be willing to bet that in the experiences Spencer is relating, lights are often used too frequently, too long and/or incorrectly. A handheld light should be used very sparingly, and a WML extremely sparingly. A WML is not a substitute for a handheld and I in fact carry a handheld at all times. I'm wearing one right now as a matter of fact. The last time I used it was during a brief power outage at work on Monday. That's just one of many things you should never use a WML for. I just wanted to clarify my line of questioning. Thanks for the intelligent debate. [/QUOTE]
