In the article attached there are 5 tactical flashlights perfect for everyday carry. Tactical flashlights put out 500 lumens or higher making them a non-lethal weapon. Your regular Utility flashlights put out less than 500 lumens, still great, but not powerful enough to be considered a weapon. I suppose they are considering them a weapon because they would do some damage if pointed at someones eyes...Might be effective to an extent but a flashlight definitely wouldn't be most peoples first choice for a weapon!

My students are asking me about carry-flashlights, once more! Carrying concealed pistols legally requires appropriate licensing, training, and correct mind-set. Not everyone can do it, nor should!
