[QUOTE="MtPockets, post: 1858173, member: 39651"] I so very much enjoy the jargan from you military guys. I don't understand most of it, but I do enjoy hearing it. Most all of my family is military, so it's kind of like a family reunion without the bs! On a different note, I've had a lot of home defense conversations with old school law enforcement and other gun nuts. One conversation centered around lights/sights. It was interesting because some of them actually recommended no lights OR special sights but rather they advocated learning to shoot with your eyes closed- as if you are shooting in the dead of night. Their reasoning was that sights can fail or get bumped and lights give away your position. I think most felt that lights for the aggressor was a plus (such as a nighttime raid on a drug dealer), because you could surprise and blind the unsuspecting individual, but for the person with an intruder in the house they recommended learning to shoot "blind". I think that was part of the thinking with using a .22, too, was that it would take a LOT of shooting to get proficient with it. What are your thoughts on that? [/QUOTE]
