There are a ton of emergency situations that take place at night. It seems like the bad guys prefer to operate at night. People seem to be more vulnerable at night. This is why I always advise people to carry a good tactical flashlight.
The defining characteristic of any tactical flashlight is that it is small and can be easily concealed on your person. They are both smaller and brighter than normal flashlights. Most have a clip that can hook to your belt or your pocket. You should buy a tactical flashlight that has at least a 200 lumen beam.
Surefire is a tactical flashlight manufacturer that makes a 700 lumen flashlight called the Lawman and a 500 lumen flashlight called the fury. Both of these flashlights are high quality, high priced flashlights. On the other hand, you can easily find excellent 200 lumen flashlights at the local hardware store. A two hundred lumen light focused on an assailant's eyes will impair his vision for about 2 seconds. A light that is Five hundred or seven hundred lumen will blind him for up to three seconds. Two to three seconds is some quality escape and evasion time. Rehearse a scenario where you shine a beam directly onto an attacker's face, and then run for safety. You will likely give yourself at least 2 more life preserving seconds with this method.
I also recommend that you pick up a $5 to $20 pocket knife that is small and can be clipped onto your belt or pocket. This is a useful tool that can be used as a weapon of last resort. Or, your pocket knife can convince an attacker that you are not an easy mark and it's time to move on. I know you are thinking that your Uncle Joe Bob the red neck wears a pocket knife, but I guarantee you that Jimmy the car thief isn't following your red neck, camouflage shirt wearing Uncle Joe Bob to his pick-up truck in the Macy's parking lot.
Most people do not want to carry a concealed handgun. Years of expensive training are needed to properly handle a firearm under emergency conditions. You don't need much training to operate a tactical flashlight or a can of pepper spray. Tactical pepper spray classes are offered at several gun ranges and will teach you to use it in an emergency. Anyone who carries a can of pepper spray should take classes on its emergency use.
A flashlight, a pocket knife, and a can of pepper spray are all designed to give you time to escape a threat or help you survive an emergency. Guns are designed to stop the threat. These tools are designed to deter or hinder the threat, thereby allowing you to escape to safety. Keep that simple fact in mind when you decide to purchase any of these tools.
