Thoughts on flashlight for women?
Hey guys, Happy Thanksgiving to y'all.
Would appreciate your input on this thought. Neither my wife (39  ) 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. Jim

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!!!

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?
