Laser sights make GREAT barometers at night, too. They paint a truly beautiful straight line right to your muzzle, from a surprisingly long distance.

Try it. You'll be impressed. They work great !

...not that I don't use one myself on unarmed coyotes, every chance I get, with my Mini-14.

For defense, just use it and get it over with suddenly, as one really should. The line through space also helps in real target acquisition in an emergency....since looking for the dot is somewhat...well...it could cause spontaneous urination if you're not careful...so Muttly sez, see and shoot, and if the dot is there, fine...but really, lasers are best for practicing "point-shooting," so that you hit what you're looking at, unconscious of the sights.
