Always identify your target! Lights are a must. If you don't need it don't turn it on. I live in the boonies where it's dark( that's blackout dark) and the power go's out some times for week do to storm damage. A good LED light weighs almost nothing. Be responsible, identify your target always.

Those "unlikely" scenarios actually happen quite often. Look at every major disaster in the last 30 years. Riots, looting, power outages, food shortages. You name it. This happens several times a year in our country alone. Just because it hasn't happened to you and the media calls people crazy that bring up the times it did happen doesn't mean it will not happen tomorrow. There is a slight difference between paranoid and prepared. That said, if you drop 3 or 4 people with a 12ga and who ever is left keeps attaching you they are either desperate or crazy. My uncle went though the watts riots. When the rioters and looters came to his block and saw a shotgun on every porch they moved on and burned the next unarmed block. That's why shortened pump shotguns are called "RIOT GUNS". Just the sight of one of these guns can cause a sudden outbreak of peace in their vicinity.
