I really can't get over the typical pros/cons.

For a home defense gun, I feel like being able to see in the pitch black of night of my home and sweep the shadows, but the Tapout shirt wearing "tactical specialist" at my local gun range claims that it just gives someone a target and laughs every time I do drills with a light mounted on my guns (I would never CCW a light, though).

While I understand his argument, in theory, I feel like having the option of a light (one that is easily turned off and on, or even removed) is better than none at all.

I know it's a can of worms, but it isn't a cut and dry argument, IMHO.
