YUP you are correct he was walking down a street would be a lit street too...still no need for a laser, scope would work in that scenario.

I think you misinterpreted the post about the laser. The poster was asking if a laser range finder would show up during misty conditions.
A laser range finder looks like a pair of binoculars and it uses a laser to measure the distance to an object. He asked if the laser would show up and since I only used one during the day, I don't have an answer to that. A laser range finder has nothing to do with sighting a target except to give an accurate distance.

There are lasers that are mounted on firarms but I have never seen one used in all the times I have been around firearms. They seem to be more of a Hollywood device than anything.

Red Dots are scopes with a red dot instead of crosshairs. I own a couple of those.
