A really sharp guy once told me that, no matter how great a gun I might have, when push comes to shove, it’s the guy that can see what he wants to shoot that will usually live to tell the tale. Or put another way, fortune favors the prepared. If you don’t keep a flashlight—any kind of flashlight—handy by your bed, you are increasing your odds of hitting what you see, and seeing what you may or may not hit. Remember: just because you’re on your home court doesn’t mean you’re gonna win, or even that you have a leg up on the bad guys. A flashlight helps even the odds—in a way you might not have considered. Allow me to enlighten you . . .
