Re: To laser or not?

Well, I'm another retard that thinks lasers area good thing and SEAL training is only marginally related to my likely use of a gun.

I have lasers on both nightstand guns (mine and wife's), and both of my EDC guns. One of the main reasons is if an issue happens at night I may not have time to get my glasses in which case I wouldn't be able to SEE the front sight but I can see the laser spot. My wife is even worse but CAN see the laser spot. If we happen to go out for the evening or I'm driving I'll usually wear my distance glasses rather than progressives so once again I can't focus on the front site reliably but can see the laser spot, even on a sunny day, at any range I am going to pull the trigger. As for practice, I do practice with both iron sights and the laser but more with the laser since I EXPECT to use it. For ME, a laser makes sense and works.

As for SEALS, maybe they DO fire 10,000/yr. and are superbly trained for what they do. But I'm not going to be sneaking in to hostile territory and going toward the enemy. I'm not going to be shooting sentries at 50 meters (where they use a rifle), kicking in a door to clear a room (grenade or SMG), or taking out bodyguards at close range (maybe with a pistol). If I am involved in an incident I'm going to be going back, not forward, and using the force necessary to protect my life and those around me.
