Can you use the taser while the flashlight is on or will switching to taser turn the flashlight off, putting you in the dark with your assailant?

I think they operate separate. The taster would only be a one or two second burst. So no worries. You can tase while the flash is on...

While I am not 100% sure, I think you have to turn the flashlight off. The switching from flashlight to stun gun (not taser) can get complicated if you are in a "situation". If I see something suspicious (loose dog, coyote), I turn the flashlight off and reposition and test the stun gun to make sure it works and then I'm in the dark unless I have another flashlight.

No, the instructions state charging it more than 8 hours can damage the taser and void the warranty. But once fully charged you could leave it on say your night stand untill needed.

There is a button on the back of the handle that when suppressed will keep the light on, but as soon as it's released the light goes off; it's great for quick light control when using it with a pistol. The back of the handle also rotates as your on/off cycle that requires separate motions.

They work separately, not together. You CANNOT use the flashlight while using the stun feature.

I can't answer this because I have not tried it on myself, but I do know that there is a lot of information supporting the use of tasers. It is a close in weapon that doubles as a flashlight meaning that if your using it while walking at night at someone grabs you you'll be able to easily use it to discourage him. Tasers knock people down, but the question is how long before he gets back up and that varies from person to person. However, once down you can keep jolting him to keep him down while dialing 911. I wouldn't suggest running unless safety is close by. I think you're safer to keep him on the ground than to let him get up again. It would also be helpful to carry other deterrents like pepper-spray. What I can tell you that it has a wicked sound which may be good enough to discourage the would-be attacker.

You mean the strap? Once the Strap is pulled from the Stun gun, it disables it. So the aggressor cannot use the weapon against you. But remember, if they do pull the stun gun out of your control, you now have no defense against them.Hope that helps,Dale :O)

No, they're separate functions. You have an on/off switch, a function switch (light or stun), and a trigger button for the stun function. When you're in light mode the stun will not function, and vice-versa.

Has a 3 position switch and a separate button to activate stun. No you can not use stun and flashlight at the same time. Switch in rear position is "off", middle position is flashlight on, in forward position is stun and to activate this you push the stun button on the opposite side of unit at the same time.

The switch goes from off to flashlight and then stun gun. Additionally you can not activate the stun gun unless the toggle is in the correct position followed by pressing a different button

Yes it does. Which is fine in the circumstances because you'd rather blind someone first before you have to resort to shocking them. 9/10 times the light works before you have to actually taze.

No, you will turn power on and Theresa switch just like standard flashlight. And then there is a red button above that one u use to shock. Note flashlight and tazer can not both be on. It's one or the other...does this help?

The button controls all the functions of the flashlight. You have to hold it down for a few seconds to turn the light on, the same thing to turn the light off. It takes a couple of times to get used to the switch. You'll like this flashlight, especially the rechargeable battery feature.

Yeah. It comes with a small black pouch. There's a sliding switch on the side. You push it up once; the flashlight comes on. You push it up again; that's when the actual taser comes on. You have to press the circular black button for it to zap.

Yes the strobe has switchable salve triggering, and it can be turned off or on. And yes you can use your on camera flash to trigger the strobe with no problem.

As you know the bodyguard doesn't have a switch, just a small little button. I have not had any issues with the laser being accidentally activated.

On mine if you press the button all the way in and release it the flashlight turns on and off at the same setting. If you press the button halfway in it changes modes. I just put it on the brightest mode and then make sure to press the button all the way in when turning it off and on so it stays in the same mode.

After you turn the flashlight on, press the on/off button slightly to toggle between different modes. If you press too hard it will turn the light off.
