strobes
I was in a dark room when a person entered with a strobe.
I never saw him. This was a strobe flashlight not a weapon light. he exited and re-entered ith a flashlight. He was much more visable. |

There was a movement a while back (2-3) years when a tactical flashlight had a strobe feature.
The bottom line is that the strobe flashlight is ridiculous as a "weapon". It strobes everyone and everything. It disorients the shooter as well as the shoot-ee. There is, in fact, very good techniques for low-light engagements in which a flash is used with "strobe effect". That is the shooter will pulse the light on and off as they move. It allows you to illuminate your target briefly, move, engage without stopping and shining a light. If someone wants to fight you and you shine a light on them, chances are they'll shoot at the light. This strobe technique is commonly confused with using a strobe light. The technique is good and is extremely effective. The strobe light is only effective if you want to dance (or maybe build a haunted house). DOL

Sorry zukiphile, but you will have to direct me to the law that says a response to a lethal threat must have efficacy as a defensive measure to be valid in the eyes of the law or that any measure without perceived efficacy will result in being considered invalid and henc cast dispersians on the one employing said method(s).
Do you have any cases to back up your claim? Do you have any laws to back up your claim? Not everyone facing lethal force employs methods that necessarily defeat the lethal threat. I anyone using such methods to have suffered consequences as a result.

Let me try to be clear, but not patronising.
The basic structure of a home defense shooting involves a homeowner identifying in his home an individual who poses an immediate threat if grave bodily injury. The homeowner identifies the gravity and immediacy of the threat, and acts to stop it. This can involve shooting the threat, not because we enjoy killing people, but because that is an effective defensive action when met with an immediate and grave threat. Now, introduce a strobe light, which is not an effective defense to a grave and immediate threat. If the homeowner finds someone in his house, but deploys a strobe light, which is not an effective defense to a grave and immediate threat, it might undermine either his later testimony that he was faced with a grave and immediate threat or his judgment more generally. None of this means, as you appear to have concluded, that a strobe light is "[in]valid in the eyes of the law", whatever that means. Quote:

In Georgia and Tennessee (the two places I've possessed a concealed / carry permit), having an intruder in the home satisfies every criteria needed to employ deadly force. The tactics involved wouldn't matter. The intruder doesn't need to do anything scary.
Each state is obviously different and I'd encourage you to research the criteria for your home state. DOL

We have the castle doctrine here. Once an illegal intruder is in my home it dosen't matter if I use a single shot .22 or a Kuhkri with currare smeared on the blade.
