Howdy and Welcome to the Forum :wave:

If you are over 18 there should be no reason you can't own one,
now what your state says about that is another thing.

Have fun and be Safe

Welcome!
You should be fine, that is a good choice for a laser.

Remember not to ever shine it at moving vehicles, aircraft of any kind, or police. At that power you also have to be careful to never shine it in anyone's eyes, and to avoid bouncing it off shiny objects. The dot may be uncomfortable to look at.

There is a small chance that if you have it imported customs may confiscate the laser, but in the US it really is a small chance.

Florida law requires that a Class IIIb laser be registered with the state, and that you file a designated "laser safety officer" who's been trained in laser safety in that registration. The form can be found online. See: http://www.myfloridaeh.com/radiation/nonion/summary.pdf

I never knew you had to be at least 18 to legally beat a dead horse. Learn something new every day.

:tired:Sorry to have posted only the link to the laser registration regulations in FL, not the form itself, which you can find right here: http://www.myfloridaeh.com/radiation/nonion/form1605_v6-06.pdf

Just make sure that the date of purchase that you put on the form is within 30 days of the date that you're completing the form. The law gives you 30 days to register the laser. Doubt that you'd have a problem if it was more, but why push your luck?:beer:

OWW....30 DAYS ?!! im out of date ...i have the laser for 7months now
I KNOW THAT I said that i had it for 2-3 months but that was just a guess i didnt realize that i had it for 7 months until i saw the order history ...anyway i will be buying a blue laser pretty soon and it will be a high power one so i will be registering that one for sure. THANKS AGAIN ! ^_^

I looked at the form again, and even though the law says 30 days, there's no place on the form for a date other than the date of filling out the form. Register the green laser...you're cool. They have NO way of knowing that you have it as long as you do. They don't ask for a receipt, nor for a date acquired. You're cool to register it now without a problem. Register the blue one when you get it.
