Thanks, Gents, I am steering heavily the Brightguy direction (if they still have any!)...and land use it will be, so I'll have to get the lantern handle; I don't want to be mistaken for something I'm not. Case in point the local LEO stopped me walking with my flashlight the other morning and said, "and I quote": "boy, I'm ohnna tell you wun thing; 'an this is fer yer ohn good ohnly; if sumbuddy thanks yer wunna them uh, Al Kida felluhs, yur 'gonna be in deep sh$#t... an' I'm the wun who toll 'ya so." I think you get the point...
