I discovered a question that seems to make people uncomfortable. These people must not be overly familiar with use of deadly force and actions leading to it. The intent of the question was to help people think about concepts that aren't discussed very often. The question is for the EDC citizen-
During a deadly force encounter, at what point do you activate your pistol mounted weaponlight?
PID isn't getting people's personal info, it's assessing if they are a valid threat.
PID optimally is done before your gun is drawn.
In low light, my handheld illuminates unknowns. If deadly force is justified, handheld stays in hand and on the threat. One handed shooting doesn't have to occur but it shouldn't be avoided. There are methods of shooting using a two handed grip and still using a handheld to illuminate the target. Being familiar with multiple ways of doing this is a good idea.
There are things we use and carry and without thinking know how they apply to our lives and when to use them - I guess weaponlights aren't one of those things even though so many feel compelled to carry them.
