Carrying a flashlight during daylight

For all you NON-law enforcement, do you carry a flashlight during daylight hours and if so, why?

I currently have a little Photon Freedom Micro light on my key chain which I obviously have with me all the time, but I just started carrying my Surefire EL1 at night.

I carry a small Fenix LED light on my key chain. I've been surprised how often I use it now that i always have a flashlight with me.

I carry one all the time...a surefire G2 with a 120 lumen upgrade bulb...I am amazed at the amount of time I have used....just as much as a pocket knife..

I carry flashlights with me at all times. If I keep a light in my pocket I never have to worry about where I put it. I have lights stashed around the house but if i am in the car and drop something under the seat it is hany to have a light of some sort, the same goes for the barn shop or back pasture.

If I leave the house after dark I have a light, I have a light in both cars. I do not carry one on me during normal daylight hours.

If you want to carry one do. You will probably use it and be glad you have it from time to time, just like a Leatherman

Just because it's sunny outside, doesn't mean it's as bright INSIDE.....

I always carry my inova x5 on me at all times. I just know how good ole murphy likes to stick his head into all of my business, and the time I'll need it is when I've rationalized that I don't need it.

Cyclops - Flashlights
I keep my Cyclops XCF with me most of the time. I've had it over a year with no problems. It's a great flashlight for the money.

Always. I have carried a SureFire E2D (never would buy another or recommend that one to anyone), a streamlight scorpion and a surefire G2 (I like that one).

As stated, it is not always bright inside.

I carry vertically on my belt @ 11 AM. It is not inconvenient at all.

I carry my flashlight any time that I wear pants. Mine is a Garrity (no other information) with a clip on it. It goes at 9:00 IWB, right behind my knife.
