Definitely you're not going to keep a light on.  However in this situation I only had the use of one hand and using the light/laser from a barricaded position.  Since the door in question was directly down the hall keeping it lit up allowed me to see if the door was being manipulated or opened while using the red dot of the laser to keep my point of aim as close to where it should be while being distracted by answering questions from 911.  Anyone opening that door entering into a dark house except for a blinding light directly in front of their face is not going to be able to make an accurate shot even if they were able to shoot first, which would have been next to impossible. Sure you can use the light as sort of an aiming point but a laser point at house length where you have a second and a half before an intruder can be behind cover is WAY more precise and makes WAY more sense than just saying shoot where the light is.  When I was a LEO we didn't have access to weapon mounted lasers or lights so we used the standard white light in one hand, gun in the other method.  Works well when you have both hands free and can focus strictly on a search but that technique has shortcomings.  Weapon lights fill some of the short comings, light/lasers fill even more.  You can disagree all you like but you're still wrong.  If using weapon light for all things is your preference, more power to you but your preferences don't change the facts.</p></blockquote><p></p>
