Obviously, lasers would have to pass safety inspection, so if there was a bad use for one, or it was pointed at eye-level for anybody, it would be banned, but I can think of several great uses.

There are two classes of lasers this year: legal and illegal. Legal is easier to define, so here's the definition: COTS completely enclosed integral lasers are legal.

Illegal: any exposed laser (which would pretty much be the rest of them).

<R02-D> is the rule in question.
