Hello my name is Chris I've loved lasers for 3 years but was not able to get one over 5mw for a long time but I still kept researching them... I am just now building a 200-300mw red http://laserpointerforums.com/f50/my-first-diy-laser-build-66887.html#post962424

and I recently bought a 30mw greenie from dx that is focusable for 20$!
good price, Hasn't come yet... Any day now! :lasergun:

L-030 30mW Mini Flashlight Style Green Laser (CR123A) - Free Shipping - DealExtreme

I of course bought rechargable batterys and a charger :) .

Anything over 5mW can cause INSTANT PERMANENT DAMAGE to your eyes faster than you can blink, so yes you need goggles. It doesn't make it completely invisible just lowers the amount of light you get in your eyes.

You can take them off to look at the beam but if you are going to be close to the dot or there is any chance whatsoever of accidentally pointing at something reflective than you should have your goggles on while using it.

Home business doesn't necessarily mean "not a legitimate business", just means you don't have a retail outlet or warehouse and do the mfgr, sales, book keeping from your home.

Don't point at buildings. Lasers are to be treated as firearms under hardly any exceptions.

So... in your case. Yes.

Also be sure to tell everyone within a 1/4 mile of you to wear proper safety glasses as well.

They may need it.

OH，thanks for solving my question. But i have another question. If i use the laser pointer outdoors to point to buildings or star, should i wear the goggles?:D

You don't have to then, just keep the beam AWAY from windows/people/cars/planes. (there's a risk ofc, but it's generally accepted as OK to do this as long as all possible safety precautions are observed).

Inside or up close though, anything over 5mw requires glasses.
