Thoughts on flashlight for women?
 

Hey guys, Happy Thanksgiving to y'all.

Would appreciate your input on this thought. Neither my wife (39:bs:) nor my 30 year old daughter carry a handgun or have one at home. I'm thinking a blinding bright flashlight that will fit comfortably in their purses can be a great self defense piece for them in the dark. If you agree can you recommend a specific light?

Thanks for your time and consideration.

I have so many piss poor jokes for women's lights being on I'm just gonna stand down here...

Not sure on the light idea but I am a believer in the Kimber self defense spray. Shaped like a tiny plastic pistol, fits pockets and purses, shoots to self defense distance and comes with a practice unit and target for training. It works, I have purchased kits for my wife and the wives of friends and none of them have had to use it, so it repels evil doers. :) PS, Joe, this stuff will put your lights out for several hours, so do not give it to anyone who doesn't appreciate headlights jokes. :) Dennis

Go with the pepper spray, not the bright light. Works in the daytime too. Like a handgun, practice!!!

Dont have an issue with the flash light likr a streamlight but shoud carry some spray too though. Just a good idea

you need to get them shooting and carrying a handgun. if I were a rapist/attacker a flashlight wouldn't stop me. just my opinion.

An 18 wheeler at full speed wouldn't stop you

funny good thing I'm not a rapist or an attacker lol

I agree that a light is a good tool for locating a potential threat. It may also make a user more of a hard target than they're willing to tolerate.

I highly doubt it will stop someone with absolute intentions do harm a person.

What's your budget? What type of batteries would be used....primary CR123s or rechargeable li-Ions?

Fenix pd35 or similar.
