Strobe light on a pistol a-la Hit Girl

[mikeyp]

I'm sure most people have seen Kick-Ass. Is it legal to have a strobe light on a pistol like that in Mass?

 

[atilla]

sigh... another "is this legal in MA" thread.

yes. go buy a TLR-1. it strobes.

/thread.

Hey it's not my fault they have all the half-arsed laws here and you have to ask questions. I searched strobe lights and didn't see anything, so I figured I'd ask.

 

[PATRON]

WHY?

you know, a lot of people didn't like kick-ass. i did.

 

[mikeyp]

Patron, I was just curious.

atilla, really? I loved it. My wife liked it a lot too.

First things first, great movie.

Second, be careful as you could be open to a lawsuit if you turn it on an attacker and said attacker is prone to siezures and hurts themself.

I enjoyed the movie also.

A well placed shot should end the seizure.

Please don't give the libtards any ideas about something else to ban.

Plus if someone breaks into your house and sees a strobe light, they might start boogieing down making it that much hard to get a well placed shot off. haha

You're restricted to 10 or fewer flashed per second, unless you have a Class A Flasher's License.


Or is that fro something else....

that's for if you are wearing nothing but a trenchcoat and walking around a public park.

I think they call that that move, "the congressman", or in MA, "wearing a Teddy.".

 

[Almostelmo]

I can see it now: "the defendant used an evil black strobe light to disorient the helpless intruder and shot him with cop killer bullets from a high cap clip out of a Glock-47 assault machine gun"

 

[MisterHappy]

And it was actualy a flintlock....flash in the pan, and all that.

Making decisions on your defensive gear based on what you see the movies ?

Really ?

to be fair TLR-1s are extremely fun to play with.

Seems only right since gun laws are taken from movies and books... 1984, Mein Kampf, Animal Farm, etc...

Does that work even if your opponent has practiced his Agrippa?

 

[Inferno]

I don't blame you for asking haha. The laws in this state surprise me more and more every day...

Yes, that's it I'm a noob to firearms, so when I saw that I liked it. We're not all experts at everything

 

[gearjunky13]

My work light will flash SOS, so if I mount that on my pistol I can defend my self and call for help at the same time, lol

Exactly, I'd rather ask and know I wasn't inadvertently doing something illegal. Especially with the goofy laws in this state.

As a side note, I've found strobing a dog with my flashlight disorients it or confuses it. I've used it a few times when walking at night and it works like a charm. The dogs just kind of look at you like "WTF is going on?!?". Now, these aren't fully loaded cat-killer EBDs, but it beats getting nipped at by fluffy.

Took her to the range yesterday, no issues . . .

What no umbrella attachment?

Yes. We need to register flash lights. Anything over 1000 flickers per minute is considered an assault light. I don't know if the TLR-1 is on the AG approved list for weapon mounting. I'd call your local LTF office just to be sure. Our light laws are confusing at best.
