The greatest thing since sliced bread...

[ralphwiggum 6]

an officer one time got surprised at a laser dot pointed at him, quickly jumped out of the car, and pointed his pistol at the origin. it was a 8-yr old kid....he had nightmares about for awhile..i read from a news paper.

Funny to you, but not the victims of your stupid prank.  

If you did that to me, I might return the favor with my laser, but it's not just a laser pointer, it is a laser aimer for an H&K. Trust me, the last thing you want to do is be mistaken as a threat...<span id='postcolor'>

You`d have to find me first buuuuut i didnt mean it for military personnel,i meant for normal ppl.Also great for pointing at stuff that would take too much trouble to explain what ur talkin about.

Annoying is the idiot newspapers makin them out like deathrays cos little kiddies were shining in there eyes :

and my new one is

the greatest thing since....communication <span id='postcolor'>

I've never used a laser pointer, but I have enough experience with laser aimers on firearms that I'm not going to have any trouble locating you -- it's a visible wavelength laser, after all.

And I'm not active military or a LEO, so for you to point it only at civilians doesn't make that behavior any safer; you'd be surprised how many people which you pass on the street are armed, either legally or illegally.

If you are smart, you'll stop doing that before you get fined, arrested, beat up, or shot.<span id='postcolor'>

Doubtful unless there was contaminates in the air for te beam to reflect off.Also where i come from theres not much chance ppl would assume it was a laser sight and practicly no chance they would be armed with more than a knife probably a sawn off at the very most and very unlikely not that i go around willy nilly with it as it apears u think that way.

I mean do ppl get whacked on daily basis in ur town or is there another reason for the paraniodness u give off as u made a lot of assumptions there

People get whacked on a daily basis all over the world for stupid reasons like some kid playing a practical joke. Thats what hes trying to say.

I guess he isn't smart, since he's doing it in the first place.

All I'm saying is that it's 1st class stupidity to get a kick out of pointing a laserpen at a complete stranger in the street.

Just the way I feel about it.

I see it often, and I always wanna grab the umbiquitous pimple-faced brat and shove his laserpen all the way up his nose.

Hey who the hell said i went around shinning it on ppl in the street cos it seems like ur implying something there

I do believe you said that.

I never get the idea that it's a gun, I just find it annoying.

If it amuses you to annoy people, fine. I dig. Just be prepared to get beaten to a bloody pulp someday by someone who doesn't find it amusing.

Who said i was annoying ppl with it or shined it in an indiscriminate fashion.

U seem to have taken it as shinning it in an annoying kiddie type fashion,dumbass.

lol if u think laser pens are annoying i wonder how u`d feel if someone ran up and shined one of those massively powered hand held spotlights in ur eyes hahaahaha

.oh, so you make artistic gestures with your laserpen...?

Show old ladies the way across the street?

Cure cataracts on old dogs passing by?

You draw complex cognitive puzzles on cóffee-shop tables for people to solve while they sip their latté?

You sterilize wounds on car accident victims while they wait for the ambulance?

You point people to where they dropped their keys, that type of thing?

A real hero...

[Renagade 0]

actually i do show old ladies across the street and while my laser isnt powerful enough to help with injured ppl i can at least pretend and even better than pointing to ppl who`ve dropped their keys i go to treasure huns and help ppl who cant follow the clues but best of all i use the laser to write "KICK ME" on the back of nordin.dk when he walks down the street.

Just have one of your buddies point the laser at you from concealment, I'm sure you'll quickly figure out where it is coming from, it's not that hard, and you don't have to have airborne particles to determine the location of the source. And guys don't need to be armed with a sawed-off shotgun to get pissed off and beat the snot out of you.

And regarding the idea of pointing it at civilians only, it might actually be more dangerous than pointing it at a LEO; the later at least receive significant training in the use of deadly force, which will hopefully result in some restraint which may not be present with civilians. But LEOs are only human, so they too may make a mistake that can turn deadly for you.

I have a firearm on me much of the day or night, and have trained alongside LEOs, INS agents, DOE Nuclear Plant Protectors, FBI, SWAT, SEALs and other military personnel, and would not fire at you unless I saw a clear and immediate threat to the well-being of myself or a third person. Just don't create the mistaken impression that this is the case due to your mannerism, poor lighting conditions, or some other factor.

Honestly, what you are doing is not smart, and you should stop it. I'm not going to keep arguing with you on this, so I will not post in this thread again.

[Renagade 0]

ur post draws on the assumption that ppl seeing a small red dot would automaticly mean a lethal threat,ppl dont have aimbot like vision not that the laser invisible if thats what u think i think and just cos someones pissed off doesnt make them superhuman not that shining little lights on ppl is my hobby though i may start going round randomly shinning on ppl to see if ur theories actually work.

u also i assumed i was harrassing ppl indisrciminately with it and what the hells an LEO

[Mister Frag 0]

I wasn't going to post again, but you asked a question: a LEO is a Law Enforcement Officer.

The perception that someone will have when they are lit up by a laser depends on the context that they are used to encountering them in. As I said earlier, I have NEVER used a laser pointer, but I've used laser aimers on different types of firearms. If you shine a laser at my torso or head, and we aren't even in a board room watching a presentation, my first instict will be that someone is pointing a weapon at me.

Don't go around pointing that thing at people just to prove me wrong -- I really don't want you to get shot. As unlikely as it may seem to you, it has happened before.

I agree on that. I would probably assume that it is a laser pointer, but my first instinct would be that somebody is pointing a weapon at me. That is not a nice feeling.

If I understand correctly, he lives in the UK, so the chances of him getting shot are really not big. Even the police is unarmed. I think its however very irresponsible and nasty to do that to other people.
