You seem VERY well informed in this world of lasers. Since I was a boy watching: Lost in Space, Star Trek, Space 1999, Star Wars, etc; I have ALWAYS wanted a laser. Evidently it is now a reality. I am CONVINCED ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOOGLES. I did read the "accidents," and their horrifying results. Here are my questions I have that I HOPE and PRAY you will answer: I intend to use the laser of choice as a defensive WEAPON instead of a gun. Little collateral damage, not necessarily life ending, I see lots of advantages over a gun. Bottom line, what COLOR laser do I want which would pack the most punch LEGALLY? I need HELP. RED, BLUE, GREEN, IR? which one would do the most damage at an attacking dog or God Forbid Human? I know hair would start on fire very quickly; I also am aware that shining this in their face would disable them almost instantly. I would use this ONLY as a last result and perhaps in a DOOMSDAY/APOCALYPSE scenario. Plz help ARYNTHA.
