On Position
Most consumer grade laser pointers come with a momentary switch. To convert a momentary switch to a conventional on/off switch, wrap tape on both sides of the button to act as retainers.
Put a zip tie around the barrel of the pointer over the switch button. Contract the zip tie. It will begin to form a teardrop shape as you close in. Leave enough slack at the pointed end of the teardrop so that it remains off when the zip tie locking lug is over the button. Rotate the tie to turn the laser on.
