This morning, my apartment security hallway/stairs and outside light went out. I leave for the metro at 0520. I opened my door and it was dark asall beejesus like in the woods can't see nothing.:what: I had my gun on me in my paddle hoster for my walk to my car likeevery morning.So I immediately back up insideand closed and locked the door behind me, thenretreated to a light switch not knowing what wasgoing on outside. This was a first for the security lights to be out and they are remotely controlled to come on at dusk and stay on until sun up. So I put my gun in Condition One in my holster (a first). Hell I didn't have a flashlight in the house, its in the car.:banghead: So I eased in the dark slowly out my door, locked it behind me and eased myhand on my gunup the stairs since I'm on a bottom floorapartment and out the door and it was still dark as allhell. Some of the adjacent building security light were out. Got to my car, locked the door and drove off. But my situational awareness was so heigthen now sinced I OC and CC now and this error of not being preparedshook and scared me. SoI got me asurelighet tactical hand heldlight now after workand I'm wishing I had a light mounted on my carry now. Do anyof you carry with tactical lights or your opinion of value to have one mounted.
