In "Operation Anaconda: Not A Good Day To Die" about our first major battle in Afghanistan, one of the commanders does the same thing.

great I watched half the video and was insulted as if I had done something wrong due to someone elses actions who might have even done it on purpose to give 'them' some more anti ammo. Is the guy illiterate my laser says it blinds people beside the fact its attached to a gun aiming where it points.


eh?

Hey, EVERY time Murphy T (OldmanFCSA' s Basset Hound) comes to my house and immediately goes on ALERT looking for my green laser. He loves chasing it all over my house and especially up and down my stairs. He loves to chase it and I love to listen to him "bay" as the hound in him comes out. I make 100% sure it NEVER gets anywhere near his eyes. But his butt sometimes gets lit up....lol

There are different levels of classes to lasers.

It might help to brush up on those levels. A laser pointer might cause temporary issues, but nothing permanent.

I don't advocate point it on purpose in someones eyes but its not the end of the world should it happen.

Doing it with an excimer laser would be another issue.

As to the issue with the op.......

A random comment re: the article.... what is it with journalists and the phrase "pack heat" or "packing heat"? Nobody uses the term but old Hollywood movies and journalists!! It is like they live in an alternate universe! (duh)

Oh.. and mine hasn't been supplying much heat either... been rather cold really... must be broken. :cry:
