Do you train in low light?
MJM:
The dimly lit corner of that parking lot. Getting out of your car at 11 pm behind your house. Both are common, increased-risk, “transition” scenarios. Low light scenarios. Then, there’s always that breaking glass at 3 a.m. clue that something is about to happen

Some indoor ranges can give you dim light conditions to practice in. Unless you always carry a flashlight on you at night get used to firing with night sights only. Pay attention to your senses and your instincts. If the hairs on your neck are standing up there’s probably a good reason. Just because you’re feeling a little paranoid doesn’t mean there isn’t somebody waiting to clobber you with a baseball bat or worse. When I walk out of a store late at night I immediately start scanning the parking lot, looking for movement and people sitting in cars.
