0.0 First time, overwhelmed, need help choosing key chain sized laser

Lightning Stalker,

Class 3b is anything from 5mW to 500mW. Class 4 is 500mW or greater.

If the Canadian authorities are confiscating 3b lasers or higher, they're confiscating anything that is not considered a real laser pointer, not a laser module. Laser pointers are Class 3a (3r), < 5mW, or less. That makes them generally "blink reflex safe" or at least recoverable, but still dangerous to the eyes. It's not as restrictive as Australia's laws that require Class 2 (< 1mW) or less.

Our laws suck. Atleast we can import the parts lol
 





Yeah, but the real bad part in Australia is that there are laws against possession of such lasers, not just shipping them. Pointers above 1mW are Schedule 1 prohibited "weapons" in some places and require a permit.
