[Double Naught Spy]

Like so many accessories for guns like night sights, higher capacity magazines, etc., it is best to have one, know how to use it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Weapon mounted lights simply represent another potential option to exercise in certain circumstances. That does not mean it must be exercised, only that the option is there.

This is really the same sort of argument made for carrying guns. I like having the option to carry if I so desire. If a bad situation arises, I would rather have a gun and decide not to use it than to need a gun when I don't have it with me.

With carrying a gun or having a weapon mounted light, there are some definite changes that come with those features if you decide to have them. Some are beneficial, some not so.
