To me, "strategy" means the overall goals and plans.  "Tactics" means the manner, means, methods, and modes of achieving those goals, which may change due to exigencies in the field 

Thus, if a little old lady has the strategy of avoiding rape by a ne'er-do-well intruder, and she clobbers him over the head with a cast-iron frying pan to achieve this goal, then the frying pan is a Tactical Frying Pan and therefore entitled to be camouflaged and marketed as a "Tactical Frying Pan."

Similarly, if she uses a rolling pin --a change due to exigencies "in the field" --that rolling pin is a "Tactical Rolling Pin" and is similarly entitled to be camouflaged and likewise marketed.

So there.

I will admit, however, I had my doubts about how this fit into that definition:



Until I saw this:



...and realized that the toilet seat was a tactical device to implement the strategy of harvesting a deer in one's bathroom.

Thus, likewise entitled to camouflage and the honor of being called "Tactical."

I do believe that the radical and crazy notion that the Founders meant what they said, is gradually soaking through the judicial system.

Does it come with tactical TP?
Used a lava rock to wipe with on a pt run before, does that count?  How about that thick bladed grass with the little stickers on one side that get into your skin, I remember that one vividly as well....

And, if you care to Goggle it, there's even tactical lingerie.  Jokes about the overall strategy involved may be appended below.

As far as a tactical flashlight... I can tell you the following, as I was taught anyway....

A "Tactical Flashlight" has the following features... Be exceptionally bright with high and low settings, Serrated edges on both front (lighted side) AND rear (butt) ends of the flashlight for striking/self defense. Also a bright strobe light feature for blinding...

A tactical light that dosen't have the above features is not a true "tactical light"

Also depending on manufacturer and porpose you have side clips, gun mounting, pressure switches, dot-lasers, re-chargeable, etc. etc....

Rajah dat! Many tac lights only have serrated edges on the front of the light. A true "tac" light has serrated edges on both the front and rear of the light for a true swinging type weapon. Striking on forward thrusts, as well as a back motion.

I have an "O-light M30 S-X Warrior"

This is an incredible light.

500 lumens.

I'll be doing a review here when I get the chance.
