Idiots... dont you have a fucking job or real life other than playing with little handheld lasers???? Seriously? I can think of no worthwhile reason to make them commercially available since OBVIOUSLY this thread shows people cant be trusted with them.....
Now I am buying these glasses tonight..... if the dark spot in my vision goes away and I am able to keep flying.. i will wear these glasses so that I can chase you down in the helicopter and make sure that either i find out who/where you are for a later visit.... or the police are able to make an arrest......
Dont fuck with my career... safety or life.....
Well lets put things in a different perspective for those that think that this is funny.....
My response to someone shining a laser at an aircraft should include 10 years in prison minimum sentence, and a fine that includes that persons entire net value. This money would go into a trust fund to pay for the damages done to aviation by irresponsible laser use.
Now lets explain why I would not hesitate to take the following action....
Land helicopter.... draw firearm.... shoot individual with laser..... kick individuals teeth in..... leave in helicopter.....
Now here are the reasons. Number one.... a flash of light at night from a laser can blind a pilot and cause him to lose control of the aircraft, killing himself and others.... therefor use of a laser on aircraft can be considered use of deadly force....... just like aiming your car at a pedestrian.... hilarious isnt it?
Secondly... and JUST AS DAMAGING... is the fact that these higher power lasers easily available can do SERIOUS damage to eyes of a pilot at low levels (helicopters fly 1000 feet and below), also refracting light through canopies and windscreens can increase the damage done..... Now.. ladies and gentleman... are ESSENTIAL to a pilot... so by damaging his eyes, even if not noticeable that night... can destroy his career... one that he invested 50000 to 120000 dollars into.... and honed his skills throughout years of hard work, study and experience....
That would be the same as shattering the hand of a carpenter..... or mutilating the fingers of a pianist....... or breaking the legs of an olympic runner....
So while some of you think this is funny... I can promise you I would kill you on the spot if I ever saw you point a laser at an aircraft....
Do you know how I found this site???? Because I am searching for an eye doctor, and the required FAA documentation following a laser strike on my aircraft tonight.....
If my aviation career is over... I can promise I will do everything I can to destroy the laser industry.....
Make sense?
Funny haha right?

It was green. And I agree with you. I have always been about absolute freedom, personal responsibility.. you know... old school USA founding fathers stuff...... no gun control etc...
but it has become clear that anything that is easy to access become spoiled by idiots.
I now advocate for gun control (I am a former US Marine.... I should be exempt from the laws since I have proven myself more than responsible with them)
I advocate for lasers commercially sold to be completely banned now.... unless you have a very specific and worthwhile reason for having them....
Maybe even the ability to upload to the internet should be limited too.... no more easy uploads or youtube.... FTP only, HTML coding to post... make people learn.. because and idiot with a google search finding awesome dumb pilot pictures just proves my point... people cant be trusted...
so make everything hard, (this is why pilots are held in higher regard, it takes a lot to get to where they are) so that the idiots are weeded out early...
Now that I get to spend my time filling out FAA paperwork...
It was in Florida, just south of Patrick Air Force Base, in Patrick AFB airspace... they take that seriously since that is within airspace that is integral to national security.
I just dont understand what there is to be gained by shining lasers at helicopters... (or the videos on youtube of people shining lasers at cops....)
And green lasers are more and more common as part of weapon systems now... so even walking down the street... if someone pointed a laser at me i promise i will shoot the source of the laser in a heartbeat......

Fu*k this guy. I lost all sympathy for him after this statement. LoL he clearly has no idea how expensive of a hobby lasers are otherwise he would know that we ( or most of us) have jobs.
Settle your kettle. Im sure you would be pissed if you were struck with a laser and your eyes were damaged, potentially ending your career.

300 feet,
and thats because nobody sees guns as a toy... whereas people obviously see lasers as a toy...
Unless you would nics background checks and 3 day wait periods to buy a laser pointer?
With all due respect, what good is coming from this "pilot" guy only joining the forums to talk down to and ridicule the entire forum? From the first impression he made, I'm on the "F*ck this guy" side of the fence.
