I was at a store in Thailand last week and was checking out their flashlight section. They had a "Police" brand flashlight 1101 with attached stun gun. I got it as my Thrunite scorpion had finally given up the ghost completely after suffering EMS (eratic mode switching) for the past 2 months.
It's obviously a low quality piece of junk; advertises 150 lumens and is probably about 40. The stun gun part is hit and miss (I did manage to get a coach roach and some ants with it) but it makes you wonder if a quality, reliable version would be useful.
I actually had the light with me at a pharmacy last night where I was robbed with a sword! No kidding - I'm there getting some flu medicine and a guy walks in the pharmacy with a limp and a motorcycle helmet on and the visor down covering his face. He pulls a sword out of his pants, holds it to my neck and robs the till and me as well.
He never would have got that far with me except a.) I thought it was a friend pulling a joke on me and b.) I was fluish and out of it.
FWIW though I debated wether to cooperate and give him my money or wrestle the sword from him at no point did it cross my mind that my flashlight with possibly working stun gun on it was an asset .
