Possibly THE cardinal rule when working with lasers: NEVER look into the aperture of the laser. There are exceptions, for example when there is no power connected (or batteries removed and visually verified as being removed).
Possibly THE cardinal rule when working with firearms: NEVER look into the barrel of the firearm. There are exceptions, for example when no ammunition is present (rounds removed and visually verified as being removed).
^^^Note the similarities between the two statements.
Of course not everyone knows the rules, and not everyone cares.. but ignorance and negligence can lead to injury in both cases (lasers and firearms)
