But don't get rid of that MagLite. When my daughter just replaced her
stolen car, the first thing I offered to pay for was a MagLite to
replace the one I'd gotten her for her old car. That itty bitty LED
flashlight ain't gonna do much to protect her.
BTW, the Mini MagLite (the AA size flashlight) can also serve as a
weapon; Mas Ayoob has a class that's essentially on how to.
