Sitting in Cracker Barrel for dinner with my girlfriend tonight. We got to talking about some of the self defense techniques I have been teaching her. Then I pulled the Surefire Defender E2D out of my pocket and hand it to her. She really liked it.
Keeping in mind, the only flashlights she has ever used are cheapo plastic $1 flashlights from Wal Wart. Certainly not a 60 Lumen, tail cap activated “illumination tool”.
She puts her finger on the rubber cap on the end, points the light right at me and says “what’s this?” Then presses it, blinding the crap out of me. Luck for me I anticipated this and shut my eyes hard about 10 milliseconds before she actually did it. She pressed it hard enough to click it “on”. Then she panicked, and in the process of apologizing to me and trying to press the button again, she blinded half the people in the Cracker Barrel…then herself…then me again…then she got the darn thing to turn off.
I was trying so hard not to laugh.
Women can be so cute.
I’ll be more careful when teaching her to shoot.
