There are two tools that you must carry as a concealed handgun enthusiast. You should always travel with a reliable flashlight. A good flashlight is at least 150 lumens bright with a four hour batter life at full power. I found a flashlight at my local hardware store for eight dollars including batteries. The flashlight I purchased had a seven hour battery life and an edge with a crown on it, also known as a strike bezel, that allows the flashlight to be used for close range personal defense. I purchased a flashlight to carry personally, one for my truck, one for my house, one for my brother, and a spare to keep around just in case. At eight dollars per package, it was a great buy.
If you are someone who always has to have the latest and greatest technology, then you can buy the one hundred and fifty-five dollar, five hundred lumen Fury flashlight made by Surefire Flashlights.
Let me tell you why you need to carry a flashlight with you at all times. It could turn into a real life-saver when you least expect it. My uncle was in an underground subway during a power outage. There were no lights and no backup power. He turned to his trusty old eight dollar flashlight and showed everyone else how to get out. Once they reached daylight, everyone was shocked to find that he wasn't a safety officer.
Just carrying a flashlight in a dark situation could tell a potential assailant that you are not a sheep and it would be better to find an easy target. I imagine being able to illuminate some dude in 200 focused lumens and say, "Stop. Let me see your hands. Don't come any closer." It sounds foolish, but if it keeps me from having to fight somebody, I'm all for it. Any time I leave the house at night, I'm carrying a flashlight.
Several intelligent people carry pocket knives. I wear one clipped to my belt and it is very helpful. When I was a teen, my father gave me a limited run pocket knife. It has a three inch blade and is comfortable to carry every day. Last week I was shopping and saw a great pocket knife made by Winchester that was priced very reasonable. It had serrated edges so I purchased it.
A pocket knife will always prove useful. Opening boxes, cutting wrapping, cutting cords, and the list continues. My mother thinks I'm insane because I keep imagining situations where my pocket knife or flashlight will save the day. It's true that most of these situations never come to pass. But I will be prepared if they do.
