Now you're just being rude. And I thought this was a community based friendly open forum. You're the reason media looks down at us.

I thought it was only illegal for the company importing it into the US.
Not illegal for me to possess the product once here in the US.
Another words, not illegal for the recipient.

I believe you are right. I think it's the movement of such lasers that is illegal, namely importing or selling.
They aren't going to see a laser being pointed at stars and attack you and demand a mW reading of the laser. You'd just say you bought it before the "ban" a few years ago anyways. So yes, I believe what you said is accurate!

LOL, "a few years ago"...the applicable FDA laws haven't really changed much since the 1970s. So yeah, you bought your blue laser "before the ban", which was over a well over a decade before such a laser even existed. Any new "ban" would supercede this, of course.
Also, pointing at the stars falls into a whole new set of laws, including the FAA, in addition to the import/manufacture/entering-into-commerce laws of the FDA. That's also public display, which is another set of FDA laws, in addition to the import/manufacture/entering-into-commerce laws.
Finally, if you're purchasing from overseas and having it shipped to you, you'll need to read some more to see whether you are liable as an importer in that arrangement. It's not as simple as "well, they're the ones shipping it, I'm just receiving it, so it's all on them".

IIRC "smuggling" is illegal on BOTH ends
Peace,
dave
Heheh... smuggling sounds more like a sexual thing than an illegal thing
Casio doesn't care what people use their products for so long as they can report quarterly profits to their share holders. This is how every corporation works. Has Casio even made a comment about these lasers? I think not.
They are untouched for the time being
If you recall in 2009 ThePirateBay.org which was one of the largest torrent trackers on the internet ended with the 4 people running the site each getting sentenced to a year in jail and being hit with millions of dollars in fines they need to pay when they get out.
Um, that site is still alive and well. The guys who run it never served a sentence either.

You can "edit" your posts and you can multiquote more than one post from others. There is no need to post back-to-back
Peace,

Your ISP might be blocking access to that site.
