What did you do with all that extra time you saved by not typing the "a" or "e" there?

Throw the word "tactical" on it and the wannabe Navy Seals come out of the woodwork. Like this guy:

You're driving across country. You get a flat tire in rural Missouri. At night. No moon. Pitch black. You take out your trusty rayovac plastic flashlight to change the tire. Some meth monkeys come out of nowhere. It was a booby trap. They set spikes in the road and now they're going to take everything you own and make you squeal like a pig. How long until anyone even knows you're dead? If only you'd had a TACTICAL FLASHLIGHT BAW!

Rednecks love flashlights. Nothing pisses me off more than when I'm trying to back my boat down a ramp in the dark and some 'Neck is out there with his 50000000000000 candle power spotlight.

You don't get out much, do you?



Surefire - a company that used to specialize in laser sights - came out with high dollar, high output flashlights about 20, 25 years ago. Military and law enforcement ate those up like candy and it has just gotten completely out of hand now, with LEDs, Chinese knockoffs and everybody an his brother making one.

It's funny that you post that pic, and the guy is holding the gun that Joe Biden recommended is all civilians need

If I could find a tactical one, it'd sure make rubbing one out a lot easier when she "has a headache", or "is too tired" or "finds my out of shape body disgusting"

The Native Americans might say something different. As might the Asian Americans during WW2. So might those at Waco and Ruby Ridge. Not to mention the entire war of northern aggression.

Our military never attacked our civilians? Has that retard ever heard of the Civil War?

It is called Marketing,

people will buy something if there is some notion attached it, they would sell them as hair curlers if they could figure out how

How many times do you go the store to shop for a flashlight, till you realized you needed a TACTICAL flashlight

Law abiding citizens. (of course the children at Waco were placed in harms way by their Looney Tunes parents following a pedophile Looney Tunes leader.)

The disorienting strobe function could be a big help too. Especially at a club if the spinning disco ball breaks...

This could have just been a funny troll the OP thread, but I see there are way too many 3percenters here getting offended.

If the military truly wanted to, and we're given range to operate freely, they could absolutely demolish every building and kill every civilian man, woman, and child. Your "kustomuzed AK" ain't gonna stand in the way, so just stop. Some of you patch wearers never had the balls to go into the military and now you wear every patriotic shirt and tell stories of "I woulda joined but (insert I was too scared excuse)"

Can we get back to talking about fleshlights now?

A lot of times those "tactical lights" are smaller and brighter than your standard flashlights. I have several and use them like regular flashlights and for hunting.

perfectly reasonable response to crash into the building with a tank and burn the children alive
