Have you had any previous incidents with intruders or trouble in your local area? I got a .40 cal Taurus but need a shotty as well. Hey at 6ft you might just beat the crap out of them. (’

Lights are necessary, even critical. Weapon-mounted lights are a two-edged sword.

An invader who has come prepared to apply deadly force will be steady enough to get a round or two off at the light.

A weapon-mounted light is in front of your face ... not a good backstop.

Maintain your night vision and only use the light after action if you can manage it. A remotely operated light outside your safe room/bedroom that will backlight your adversary will do you more good than a weapon-mounted light in every situation.

If you do find yourself in a situation where you have your light on an adversary, do not take it from their eyes, even for a second. A strong light is a good weapon but your adversary will rabbit as soon as the light leaves their eyes and now you have to find them again... advantage to the adversary.
