Gun is a no-no in urban Canada, or when travelling. A flashlight wouldn't/shouldn't raise any issues. Also, the likelihood of the opponent having a firearm is very low outside the USA. "Confuse and run" sounds good to me.
I am still undecided, though. For just lighting, the phone's LED flash is bright and always handy. A flashlight that fits on a key chain is what I would like. Surefire seems to be 'the' brand, though. I'll see if I can see one locally - spending that much means that I want to 'see' it close up before buying!
