EVE Online: 99% of the time you sit around waiting for something to happen, but that 1% of action is what hooks people like crack, you don't get interviewed by the BBC for a WoW raid.

Quoth Jester View PostAs I said above, I personally have found the 3D to be perfectly fine. I don't know, however, that it is a smaller diameter than the 4D so much as it is shorter in length. My memory tells me that they're the same diameter. Am I misremembering?Life: Reality TV for deities. - dalesys

Oh, I didn't know they had C versions. Makes sense. My personal opinion, then, is that if you're gonna have it for self-defense as well as lighting, you're better off going with the D version.

In close quarters, higher velocity is not always realistic or feasible. I stand by my statement that the D version is better for the purposes we are discussing.

Depends on your state's laws. In some places, you'd be considered well within your rights, and in others, it would be considered excessive force for the situation. However anyone feels about such a response or concealed permits vs open carry (and such opinions are best kept to fratching), if you carry a firearm for defense, make sure you know your local laws regarding such situations.

Note that you are very likely to have your actions and assumptions challenged, both in civil and criminal court. Still, there's the old saw that it's better to be judged by twelve than carried by six.
I'd also like to add that, if you're going to carry a firearm, you need to *train* with it. Otherwise it will typically wind up being worse than useless in this sort of situation.

Hmm...I'm wondering about the idea of getting a maglite, even a small one. My penlight recently broke and I was using it to navigate streets at night (one of the side streets is not particularly well-lit).The best professors are mad scientists! -Zoom

Ok guys, there have been too many posts skirting the Fratching line here. I'm afraid we're going to have to close this thread. If you want to discuss gun law etc, take it there. This is not the place for it at any time.The report button - not just for decoration
